Paris (France) – Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH) today announces an exclusive contract with distributor Dutch FilmWorks to provide media services through MediAffinity - Technicolor’s hosted, collaborative digital asset management and workflow solution.

Services provided to Dutch FilmWorks, the largest independent film and home entertainment distributor in the Netherlands, will include tape and file-based ingest, asset storage and management for metadata and subtitles, compression and authoring, subtitling and delivery to eleven platforms, including iTunes.
