Distribution of European New Vital Films

ended

With the project Distribution of European New Vital Films - Leopardo Filmes, Leopardo Films plans to be better positioned to invest in the MGs of European independent films but that are directed or deeply affected artistically by new auteurs. We’re planning to reinvest in the release of a total of 3 films that are innovative and very charismatic with strong ideas of this year’s festival circuit. We’re thinking in reaching a wide and diversified audience, including families, young people, adults and elderly. Our main ambition for the titles we acquire is bring them to as many people as possible, meaning make them alive, never forgetting the individuality of each project and specificity of its target. We aim to work closely with the young communities. Regarding our investment in advertising and promotion, our budget will reflect some of our positions in cinema distribution: invest heavily on bringing to Portugal filmmakers, as well as paid advertising on outdoors and social media. We’ll also work with award winning designers on the Portuguese posters and quality printing for our materials. These releases will be paired with a constant work with the Portuguese press, partnerships with institutions and accompanied by special screenings with some of the biggest experts on the work, booklets and postcards, round out the distributor’s efforts. This is part of Leopardo Filmes’ mission to contribute to the best possible knowledge and education on cinema in Portugal. We’re absolutely determined in the theatrical release of each picture. This expenditure is a reflection of our mission as independent distributors that we’ve been affirming over the years: to keep venues alive, keeping cinemas as the center of the cinematic experience and bringing people to the cinema. It’s a daily effort which will for sure guarantee the presence of quality independent cinema all around the country, operating in the commercial circuit as well as smaller venues, and across different platforms
