"Digital cinemas have gained great popularity in the United States, and currently the demand for similar projects is also increasing in Europe, which produces approximately one third more films than the US. Digital equipment used in film projection is approximately 25% to 30% cheaper than previous-generation models, and will therefore be more accessible to a greater number of cinemas, and thus to a wider audience. Investment in digital cinemas also supports the film industry, through both better distribution as well as the quality of projected image and sound. I am pleased that the funding provided for the modernisation of cinemas comes from the Cohesion Fund, as it not only allows for the promotion of our European film heritage, but also supports an important industry sector. Culture is no longer merely a ‘higher need’, but a sector which generates an increasingly larger share of the EU Member States’ GDP, providing an ever-growing number of new jobs. In this aspect also, new cinemas contribute to the revitalisation of urban areas, for example, and, consequently, to the improved quality of life of people who live there. The transition from the analogue to the digital era may also ensure the wider participation of the citizens of a united Europe in cultural life. As with the digitisation of libraries and archives, the digitisation of cinema will ensure easier access to a common cultural heritage."@en1
