Cine Nostalgia and Cine Estelar celebrate their 10thanniversary in US Hispanic. The channels are owners of the biggest Mexican film and series portfolio in full HD, which has signified a relevant investment.
“Our films were originally shot with 35 mm film technology, which, from its origin has had a native resolution higher than 4K. These original copies are the valuable heritage of a film channel and are known as the “master copies” with a definition higher than the current 4K, but in 4:3 format. This format offers a definition that is superior to full HD,” explains Carlos Vasallo, president, and CEO of the channels.
Another important milestone is the expansion of the production of documentaries and original series, where they have more than 1,000 titles.
Last year, they began the production of classical, one-to-five minute short films and vignettes, as a response to the entertainment needs on new platforms.
“We offer more than 20 hours of uninterrupted programming per channel every day. We have more than 280 weekly hours of entertainment in films, documentaries, series, and short films on both channels,” highlights Vasallo.
The production team is comprised of more than 30 people, including researchers, filmmakers, post-producers, editors, photographers, musical editors, colorists, graphic designers, announcers, scriptwriters, and directors. “We invest more than 30,000 hours in edition and content production a year,” he mentions.
The channels have the entire collections of Vicente Fernández, Andrés García, Maribel Guardia, Sasha Montenegro, Alberto Rojas “El caballo”, Antonio Aguilar, Mario Almada, La India María and Germán Valdés “Tin Tan”, among others.
