THE SCAPEGOAT SET FOR US PREMIERE

Calling all American friends!

Weinstein-owned arts network Ovation has secured the rights for the US premiere of THE SCAPEGOAT.

Ovation is dedicated to the arts and contemporary culture, and The Scapegoat adds to its growing portfolio of UK content. The film will air on January 22 at 8pm.

Kris Slava, senior VP of the network’s programming, said: “We’ve had our eyes on The Scapegoat for some time. This film is compelling from beginning to end and really masters the art of cinematic anticipation.

“Matthew Rhys gives a sensational performance as his character wrestles with the moral dilemma of assuming another’s life. Charles Sturridge is one of the legendary British writer/directors of our time and this film is beautifully shot and artfully told – a great fit for Ovation.”

Melissa Wohl, senior VP of worldwide distribution for Content Television, added: “We are very pleased to sign this major deal for The Scapegoat in the US, following its international launch at MIPCOM. We are sure it will prove a must-see for Ovation’s discerning audience in early 2013.”

DINARD FILM FESTIVAL

We were proud to have taken part in the 23rd Festival du Film Britannique de Dinard, in Bretagne, France, where Island Pictures’ film The Scapegoat played to packed houses.

Island Pictures’ producer Sarah Beardsall, and writer/director of The Scapegoat, Charles Sturridge, were in glorious Q&A attendance. No wonder the good folk of Dinard queued in the rain.

There was even a scuffle for tickets!  Qu’est-ce qu’on va faire?

THE SCAPEGOAT AT LUFF

18.6.2012

Island Pictures’ film THE SCAPEGOAT will be screened to international buyers at London UK Film Focus (LUFF) 2012.

Now in its ninth year, LUFF is a four-day export event providing a platform to celebrate and promote British films and talent to the international market.

As this is a trade event only, we ask members of the public keen to see the film for their continued patience.

More information: http://filmlondon.org.uk/luff

From the Film London website:

The only export market event which uniquely supports new UK films and UK film companies, LUFF sees Film London working in partnership with the BFI and forms a key ongoing element of the UK’s International Strategy, promoting the best of British film and talent outside of the UK. Amanda Nevill, CEO of the BFI, said: “LUFF provides a fruitful environment for international buyers and UK Sales agents to meet, see and discuss bright new British films, and forge deals that will get those films in front of international audiences. It puts a spotlight on London too, as one of the great film business centres of the world.”

LUFF 2012’s primary funders are Film London and the BFI, with support from Mayor of London, Film Export UK and UK Trade & Investment.
