We’ll be looking to make sure she has everything she needs to expand Polish content production, align distribution strategies with evolving viewer habits and empower the team of fantastic experts to maintain and strengthen Kino Swiat position’s in a market very important to StudioCanal.”
Eberhardt added: “I am proud and happy to join Kino Świat and more broadly StudioCanal and the Canal+ group. My future role, as Kino Świat CEO, is both a challenge and a privilege: to shape the future of Polish cinema by investing in stories that matter — culturally, artistically, and commercially — and to do so alongside a team whose passion and professionalism continue to define Kino Świat. Thank you to the teams for their trust.”
