Molinare open new suite with Pandora

Molinare Spain have returned to Pandora for colour processing and control of their new digital intermediate suite.
The leading Spanish facility has been a committed user of Pandora products for a decade already, with Pogle controllers and colour processors in use with both Cintel and Thomson telecines.
The new suite, which adds a Thomson Specter Virtual DataCine to the facilities at Molinare, will feature a Pandora MegaDEF for real-time colour control, even at 2k data. The first complete digital intermediate suite in Spain, the new room is aimed primarily at the booming Spanish and European movie industry which is moving rapidly towards digital post production.
Chema Remacha, managing director of Molinare Spain, said: "We are seeing an increasing demand for film finishing in the digital environment. We have 10 years of experience in working with Pandora, and we are confident that our new digital film intermediate facility will prove very successful with our clients from Spain and across Europe."
Ralph Chaloub, Marketing Director for Pandora, added: "Europe has led the way in establishing the digital intermediate as the creative solution for today's filmmakers. This year's Cannes Film Festival saw at least six movies which used Pandora colour processing to create a look, including Polanski's Palme d'Or winner 'The Pianist'.
"Spain has a thriving movie industry, producing 120 new titles a year, and the time is definitely right for the new digital intermediate suite at Molinare. The Pandora Pogle and MegaDEF combination has already become the accepted standard in digital film colour processing worldwide, and we are delighted to maintain our close relationship with Molinare on this new project."
