One from the Heart is an independent films distribution company established in Athens in 2011. During the years we established our name as a prestigious distributor of quality films in the Greek market and managed to distribute titles critically acclaimed and commercially appealing. Most of our slate (around 80%) each year is comprised of European non national films, focusing in new emerging filmmakers. Our steady goal every year is to acquire high quality European films in a very competitive environment. Our expertise and background shows that during our ten years presence in the Greek market we always manage to acquire and successfully release critical acclaimed and festival awarded films from the most prestige showcases such as Cannes, Venice and Berlin. The majority of our acquisitions are fiction films but we acquire documentaries as well. For example, we successfully released Agnes Varda and JR’s Oscar nominated documentary Faces Places and we have just acquired La Panthère des Neiges. Each year we release 9 to 10 films. Our acquisitions include Quo Vadis Aida? Best European Film of 2021, films awarded with the Palme D’Or (Shoplifters), Grand Jury Award (Compartment No6), Camera d’Or (Las Acacias, Jeune Femme, Nuestras Madres), Best Actress (Little Joe), Europa Cinemas Label Award Quinzaine des Realisateurs (A Chiara) of Cannes Film Festival, Silver Bear – Best Director Award Berlin Film Festival (Natural Light), Best Film Award Sarajevo Film Festival (Exil), Best First Feature Film (Estiu 1993) Berlin Film Festival, Best Film Award (Fusi) Tribeca Film Festival, Best Script Award (Apres Mai) Venice Film Festival to mention a few. Furthermore, our films have been shortlisted three times for the LUX Award of the European Parliament (Quo Vadis, Aida?, A Peine J’Ouvre les Yeux, Western). Two of our films (A Perdre la Raison and Tour de France) have won the main award of the Francophone Film Festival organized yearly by the French Institute in Athens.
