Cinecittà Studios joined IMAGE MediaGroup as the European production-services network’s fifth member.
The addition expanded the group’s facilities with 30 stages and services covering production, digital post-production, sound post, laboratory processing and digital cinema.
IMAGE MediaGroup already included Gruppo Comunicazione Italia, Outside Broadcast, Wellen+Nöthen and WIGE Media. Its combined offer covered outside broadcasting, television and film production, studio and equipment hire, distribution, graphics, animation and data services.
Cinecittà operated its original 40-hectare Rome site together with Dino Studios, Papingo Studios in Umbria and CLA Studios in Ouarzazate, Morocco.
The original Cinecittà site contained 20 stages, 300 dressing rooms, 21 make-up rooms and a 7,000-square-metre water tank, along with exterior-production space.
More than 3,000 films had used the studios. The facility also supplied film processing, digital post-production, duplication and sound-post services.
