Summary
- Salaud Morisset partners with Studiocanal, BFI, and Film4.
- Collection features acclaimed films and shorts from Mike Leigh.
- Goal is to expand visibility of Leigh's work worldwide.
Acclaimed filmmaker Mike Leigh's celebrated works are set to gain new global exposure thanks to a significant collaboration. Paris- and Berlin-based sales company Salaud Morisset has joined forces with Studiocanal, the BFI, and Film4 to launch an international collection.
This comprehensive collection features key films such as "Bleak Moments," "Naked," and "Vera Drake," alongside several of his short films. The agreement grants Salaud Morisset rights to enhance the circulation of these cinematic treasures.
Spearheaded by Marina Girard Muttelet, the initiative aims to reintroduce Leigh's filmography to audiences through cinemas, festivals, and cultural institutions worldwide. François Morisset emphasized the importance of repertory cinema in keeping such auteur works alive and relevant.
This venture also bolsters Salaud Morisset's commitment to heritage cinema, following their previous success with a Wim Wenders collection. The partnership ensures Leigh's rich, humanistic films continue to resonate with contemporary viewers on the big screen.
