Industry veteran Edward Fletcher has been hired as the new CEO at Curzon. He will oversee exhibition and distribution.
Fletcher joins following the departure of Philip Knatchbull. He has experience in British film exhibition, distribution, and production. After managing cinemas in Croydon, Cambridge, and London’s ICA, Fletcher moved into distribution at ICA Projects before co-founding distributor Soda Pictures in 2002, growing its catalog to more than 300 titles, including acclaimed British, international, and documentary films.

A former board member of Film London, he is currently vice chair at Film Cymru Wales.
