Vitagraph Films is handling US distribution for Black Souls but looks like it's not even opening in New York until April. http://vitagraphfilms.com/black_souls/
Smetto quando voglio (I can quit whenever I want, 2014) was screened by Film Society of Lincoln Center in their Open Roads: New Italian Cinema series in 2014. Maybe they could help you with a contact. On the bride's side is being handled by Cineama for distribution in Italy. They are on linked in https://www.linkedin.com/company/cineama but who knows if they can do US screenings. Mediterranea (2015) Sundance Selects (IFC) is handling US distribution. http://www.ifcfilms.com/films/mediterranea Alchemy has all US rights for Mia Madre. http://www.ouralchemy.com/about.php Good luck ... your faculty may have to wait for these to be available for a festival but it's worth a shot.

I have had several successes; however, I have had difficulty in contacting production companies for films produced outside of the United States. The following are the specific films our Italian Departments wishes to show at a film festival: Anime nere (Black Souls, 2014) Smetto quando voglio (I can quit whenever I want, 2014) Io sto con la sposa (On the Bride's Side, 2014) Mediterranea (2015) Mia madre (My Mother, 2015) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about acquiring these rights? Thank you very much! Bonnie -- Bonnie Powers Content Services Librarian Shadek-Fackenthal Library [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> 717-291-3843 Franklin & Marshall College P.O.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
