Produced by The Film Expo Group, CineEurope is the official convention of the International Union of Cinemas (UNIC), the international association representing cinema exhibitors and their national associations from 39 European territories, aiming to promote the cultural, social, and economic value of cinema in Europe and worldwide.

The event, held at the CCIB in Barcelona since 2012, features participation from a dozen international studios, including Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros, Universal Pictures International, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, StudioCanal, Angel Studios, Crunchyroll and Mubi.
