Moscow -- Russian film director and producer Fyodor Bondarchuk and his partner in the Art Pictures production company, Dmitry Rudovsky, have formed Art Pictures Media, a distributor focusing on foreign independent movies and Art Pictures releases.
"We made a decision to form a distribution company two years ago," Rudovsky told THR. "But only now we've been able to actually launch it."
According to Rudovsky, the initial investment in the company will be between $7 million and $8 million, which roughly corresponds to the cost of releasing five movies on 300 screens each. The new distributor's first release will be Art Pictures' feature "Fobus," scheduled for next January, and the first foreign film will be released in March, Rudovsky said.
So far, the distributor has signed agreements with several European companies, including Sola Media and Tf-1, and the company also expects to sign a contract with Italy's Adriana Chiesa Enterprises in the near future.
