1. Crossing Borders

2. Concept We believe that across the borders we have things in common, by screening and distributing European films which British people can connect with. We make people aware of the similarities.

3. Company Goals We want to: – Distribute European films in the UK – Expand the availability of European film on the British Market – Make people less afraid of foreign film and watching films in a different language – Show that European films are not foreign and that they should not be placed in the foreign films section which only a few people go to

4. Other companies Third Window Films One of the leading distributors of Asian cinema in the UK Arrow Films Peccadillo Pictures Soda Pictures Curzon Film

5. What makes us different? Our focus is Europe. We want to distribute films that have been popular among the general population in their home countries Films for the average UK population Films that would also appeal to children We want people to see that foreign film art is not all weird We are from different countries in Europe
