Emirates Chooses IFE Services for Latin American Movies

KNUTSFORD, England, September 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



Leading passenger entertainment experts, IFE Services [http://www.ifeservices.com ],
announced today that it is supplying Emirates with Latin American movies.



These high-quality movies
[http://www.ifeservices.com/services/in-flight-entertainment/movies ] are carefully
selected from studios across the region, including the developing film industries of
Uruguay and Columbia as well as those from the more established Mexican and Brazilian
studios. Passengers will have a choice of six titles onboard that will be refreshed
regularly. The first cycle of titles will include those shown at International Film
Festivals such as 'El Verano De Los Peces Voladores' (The Summer Of Flying Fish)' and
'ROA', as well as other critically acclaimed box office successes.



The Latin American film industry is currently enjoying a renaissance with a growing
number of local, highly talented filmmakers producing movies for the region's 600 million
filmgoers. The movie production industry continues to thrive in the larger traditional
markets of Brazil and Argentina alongside unprecedented growth in emerging markets such as
Chile and Venezuela.



Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, is a leader in innovation,
working closely with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure its customer experience is
second-to-none. It is because of this commitment that SkyTrax has recognised Emirates' ice
(information, communication and entertainment) system for nine consecutive years as the
World's Best Airline Inflight Entertainment. IFE Services will manage the digital encoding
[http://www.ifeservices.com/services/technical/encoding ] of the movies for onboard
delivery across Emirates' audio visual on-demand (AVOD) systems.



In March this year, IFE Services announced that it was supplying African movies to
Emirates in languages including Afrikaans, Arabic, English, French, Kikuyu, Swahili and
Zulu.
