T he inaugural Euro Cine Expo in Munich will be remembered for a number of things. For some people, cancelled flights played havoc with plans, as did customs hold-ups for others. I’ll remember it for a couple of firsts: it was the first industry show I attended (thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome), and the first time I contracted Covid-19. A mild dose, thankfully. What was undeniable was the sense of optimism in the hall, albeit tinged with a degree of frustration. The industry is undeniably back up to speed – but with fully functioning productions comes a greater demand for kit, and raw material shortages are causing supply issues. Despite this, there was new equipment to ogle – see my show report on page 15. Attentions now turn to Amsterdam and the mighty IBC, which is just a few weeks away. In a spectacular bout of double-booking, I won’t be at the RAI. I’m rather deflated, given what a thoroughly amenable bunch of people populate these events. I’d like to meet more of you! Not to worry, as we leave the pandemic in our rear-view mirrors, the chances to do that will keep coming. Enjoy the issue.
