NWCS Seeks Latin American Films for U.S. Distribution

New World Cinema Series (NWCS) is an exciting initiative to give Latin American films a bigger platform in US cinemas. In a year-long festival-like tour in 20 US cities, the series will show 6 of the greatest films recently produced in Latin America. NWCS was developed by the NY distribution company Matson Films and the production company Belladonna Films. They contracted us to be the point of entry for all Latin American films.

Here are two links to what some of the press has to say about this new distribution program: Variety article, Swissinfo article

We’re in the midst of doing the preselection. So please send us your films as soon as possible and please spread the word.
