Departures follow a reshuffle at the Scandinavian major.
Sf Film MD Michael Fleischer and Sf Norge MD Guttorm Petterson are to step down following a reshuffle at Scandinavian major Svensk Filmindustri.
The move follows last year’s purchase by Svensk of Tre Vänner, which saw the Swedish production company’s MD Jonas Fors named as the new CEO while Frida Westerberg took over as COO.
In a statement, the company said the two high level departures were “due to organisational changes and the centralisation of certain business-related functions”.
They will be replaced by country managers: in Denmark by Lars Bjørn Hansen and in Norway by Bente Hagen Stokke, at present financial directors in their own territories. In Finland, former financial director Lars Warelius will return to the company, taking on the position as country manager. Effective immediately, they will all report to Fors.
Speaking about the departures, Fors said: “Under the leadership of Michael and Guttorm, [link...

Did you already see The Old Donkey (Lao lutou, 2010; Li Riujun)?, folks asked us day in, day out all through Rotterdam, and for most of the festival, the answer was a grumpy, No., thinking, Can't be as good as 13 kleine Esel und der Sonnenhof (1958, d.:Hans Deppe)—production title: 13 alte Esel—and that's already not really good. It wasn't, as we finally found out: Whenever the quietly cheerful donkey was out of the picture and we were forced to deal with the film as such, boredom ruled—another one of dem PRChinese Indies straight from the arthouse-for-Do-Gooders assembly line.
A donkey was also the unannounced star of Huangjiang nüxia (The Swordswoman of Huangjiang, 1930; Chen Kengran), although we're not too supportive about the way he's treated: The eponymous heroine uses it as her means of transport. Harrumph. Yet, in this case we're willing to make an exception, as the swordswoman...

Berlin -- German theater owners and the German Federal Film Board (Ffa) are engaged in a high-stakes game of chicken with the future of digital cinema in the country hanging in the balance.
The film board wasn't blinking this week when it told exhibitors they could kiss goodbye about 40 million euros ($60 million) in Ffa funding toward a digital upgrade of German cinemas.
The Ffa pledged the cash -- part of a 300 million euro, five-year, all-industry digital rollout plan -- on the condition that exhibitors drop a lawsuit against it. But Uci Kinowelt, the German arm of the Odeon & Uci Cinemas Group, refused to back down. So the Ffa offer is off the table.
Local exhibitors association the Hdf, whose members operate about 75% of Germany's theater screens, is holding a two-day powwow in Berlin this week to decide on a response.
At issue is Germany's ticket levy, the share of boxoffice...
