Arts Alliance Media (AAM), the global leader in digital cinema software and services, has extended their software partnership with the prestigious San Sebastián International Film Festival (SSIFF) to enable Producer and Screenwriter to manage all content and scheduling for a tenth consecutive event.
Celebrating the festival’s 72 nd event, SSIFF will show select titles to an international audience of spectators, specialised media, and industry professionals while promoting projects in development and business opportunities for creators, producers, and distributors.
Operations will be seamlessly managed from the festival’s headquarters using the powerful combination of Screenwriter and Producer, AAM’s enterprise Theatre Management System (TMS). This will enable users to leverage time-saving automation and maintain full control over all screens and content while Kelonik, a trusted technology partner of AAM and a long-time collaborator with SSIFF, will continue to provide expert technical assistance and local support throughout the event.
“For the past decade, Arts Alliance Media’s software has been integral to our festival's operations,” said Lucas Iaccarino, Technical Manager at SSIFF. “Screenwriter has never let us down, consistently providing a reliable and expert solution for managing our content. With access to Producer, AAM has helped us enhance our practices and explore new functionalities.
We look forward to continuing this trusted partnership for many years to come.”
Responsible for scheduling features, trailers and advertisements, monitoring screens, and controlling playback for over 45,000 screens worldwide, AAM’s Screenwriter remains the most powerful, widely deployed TMS in the world. When integrated with Producer, an overarching Enterprise TMS which displays a real-time view of each screen Screenwriter is connected to, SSIFF staff can automate daily tasks remotely for simple, time-efficient operations.
Roberto Marabotto, Global Account Director at Arts Alliance Media, added, “We’re incredibly proud to reach a decade of supporting the San Sebastián International Film Festival. By collaborating with the innovative minds at SSIFF and Kelonik, we have been able to develop an environment that ensures smooth day-to-day management and an exceptional cinematic experience.”
