Global entertainment and media agency Spafax today announced the launch of Cinéphile™ – a carefully curated suite of World Cinema titles in a variety of original languages. Airlines subscribe to the Cinéphile™ service by making an annual commitment which enables Spafax to acquire content as early as possible and leverage volume to guarantee the best titles at the best pricing and ahead of holdbacks.

With this turn-key solution, clients receive a monthly brochure with key insights on programming strategy and suggestions for content promotion. The suite is offered as a bundle flat fee and provides airlines with budget certainty across the financial year.

Henry Gummer, Senior Vice President Global Content at Spafax said: “With our in-depth understanding of each airline’s budget and audience requirements and commitment to the complex marketplace for world movies, we are able to tailor a package size and composition to suit each airlines’ needs.”
