DULAC DISTRIBUTION 2022 EUROPEAN GENERATION AND REINVESTMENTS

ended

With its 20 years’ experience in the theatrical distribution of French and foreign films, in synergy with Parisian theatres network, Dulac Cinémas (6 theaters in Paris), Dulac Distribution has established itself has a key player in the field of international arthouse cinema distribution. After a difficult period due to the Covid crisis and the shutdown of cinema theatres in France for 11 months, Dulac Distribution has resumed its acquisition and distribution policy, aiming at promoting arthouse cinema talents, confirmed or emerging. Over the next two years, we aim at acquiring and/or distributing around 2 to 4 non-national European films, which would represent 25% of our line-up. The prospection of new projects and films will be conducted throughout the year, by attending all major festivals and markets, as well as smaller events, and thanks to the company’s close relationships and regular contacts with sales agents and film producers, in France and abroad. The market being highly competitive, both at the acquisition stage, internationally, and during the exploitation of the films in France, we wish to maximize our chances: - First, to acquire all rights for titles consistent with our line-up and artistic ambitions, but with a high potential on the French market, - Second, to give the films we acquire the best exposition possible through strong marketing strategies, and long-term exploitation further to the theatrical release (TV, Video, VoD, SvoD). To get the financial capacity to achieve these objectives, we will invest the MEDIA support in both minimum guarantees, in order to remain competitive against other distributors, and/or distribution fees, allowing us to ensure the visibility of the films we distribute on our domestic market by releasing them widely (depending on the film and its potential, our release range from 30 and 90 prints) and make impacting promotion campaigns (with budgets of distribution costs ranging from 100,000 to 180,000 euros).
