"I voted in favour of this report because I agree that European cinema needs support to ensure its distribution and accessibility. This art form helps people to acknowledge one another and share the same human experience and helps to create the identity of Europe as a community of nations. It is now more than 100 years since cinema was invented and, with changes in technology, the digital format has become popular. This is very costly to produce but 10 times cheaper to copy than producing film tape. I also agree that EU financial support is necessary, not just for film-makers but also for the development of cinemas being digitised. Only in this way will we maintain access to cultural diversity and availability on multiple platforms. The digital format also enables film copies to be produced in different languages. It is clear that in future people will follow the latest technologies, and cinemas which have not been digitised will be pushed out of the market and will close. European assistance is therefore essential."@en1
