The Party Film Sales
The Party Film Sales is the result of the merger of Doc & Film International and Jour2Fête’s sales departments, teaming up under a new Paris-based umbrella to distribute their respective catalogues and common acquisitions. With this combination, our intention is to uphold the spirit of both companies that have long shared a common DNA and a similar approach to sales and acquisitions, working closely with directors and producers to elaborate tailor-made strategies for each project.
Handling a large catalogue of both fictions and documentaries, we have a long and successful track-record working with prestigious authors who have entrusted us with their films, including Gianfranco Rosi and Frederick Wiseman, but we are also promoting films by new voices in art-house cinema, such as Touch Me Not by Adina Pintilie, Hale County, This Morning This Evening by RaMell Ross, Manta Ray by Phuttiphong Aroonpheng and Papicha by Mounia Meddour.
