ended

Production and distribution company based in Rome, Europictures starts theatrical distribution in 2009 focusing on the release of European arthouse cinema and local Italian feature films. Acquisitions include festival hits and awards winners like the Golden Lion for Best Film HAPPENING by Audrey Diwan, the Silver Bear for Best Director BOTH SIDES OF THE BLADE by Claire Denis, the critically acclaimed PARIS, 13TH DISTRICT by Jacques Audiard, the Berlinale Silver Lion for Best Actress UNDINE by Christian Petzold. The catalogue also include French feature films like MARIA INTO LIFE by THE SPECIALS by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano, THE FAITHFUL MAN by Louis Garrel, GHOSTS OF ISMAEL by Arnaud Desplechin, critically acclaimed cinephile films by cult filmmakers Quentin Dupieux’s DEERSKIN and Gaspar Noe’s CLIMAX. In 2021 Europictures became a partner of “Circuito Cinema”, the prestigious chain of independent arthouse cinemas with a total reach of over 120 screens mainly concentrated in the bigger cities. The company aims to enrich its line up and to strengthen its position in the arthouse market by acquiring arthouse film with cross over potentials. Most recent acquisitions of the company include: Venice Golden Lion contender THE OTHER PEOPLE’CHILDREN by Rebecca Zlotowski, French romantic comedy MARIA INTO LIFE by Lauriane Escaffre & Yvonnick Muller THE NEW TOY by James Huth with Daniel Auteuil, BERNADETTE by the French director Léa Domenach starring Catherine Deneuve. Our goal is to invest the generated fund in the acquisition of 1 film at the upcoming major markets and festival like Cannes, Venice and Berlin and to invest in Advertising, Promotion and Digital Cost for the release of a film: costs include marketing materials creation (poster, trailer, clips); social media marketing materials and investments; acquisitions of publicity spaces (mainly web and trailers in cinemas); promotional costs; digital costs for dubbing and subtitling, DCP film and trailer.
