Election of the MEDIA Salles Executive Committee for the next three-year term of office

On 22 May in Cannes, the MEDIA Salles statutory meetings were held.
Amongst the business on the agenda, the election of the Executive Committee for the coming three years, which is formed as follows:

- Jens Rykær (DK): President;
- Walter Vacchino (I): Vice President;
- Mike Vickers (UK): Treasurer;
- Domenico Dinoia (I): member of the Executive Committee;
- Pierre Todeschini (F): member of the Executive Committee.

Commenting on the elections, Jens Rykær said: “I’m glad that, by reconfirming the existing Committee, the General Meeting has appreciated the business-like way we have adopted to face this transition period and the challenges of the future”.

MEDIA Salles, a project operating within the framework of the European Union's MEDIA Programme, with the support of the Italian Government, fosters theatrical distribution of European audiovisual products, both by high profile campaigns involving Europe's cinema exhibitors and by initiatives to raise the visibility of European productions with industry players and potential audiences, creating specialized information channels on a global scale. Thus the current initiatives from MEDIA Salles dovetail in a program with a triple focus – training, promotion and information – and maximum combined effect.
