History

A-Film Distribution was founded in November 1999 by film producers San Fu Maltha and Pim Hermeling.[2] The company distributed mainstream and arthouse films in the Netherlands as well with local releases such as Costa! and Love is All. The company also distributed non-Dutch films such as Alexander, Lost in Translation, The Pianist and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.[3] In 2003, A-Film, Cinéart, Frenetic Films, Haut Et Court and Lucky Red/EyeScreen created a jointly-owned film acquisition firm named Indie Circle.[4]

In 2006, the company won Golden Calf awards for Waiter, Black Book, Night Ride and Bonkers.[5] That same year, A-Film started to distribute its films in Belgium.[6]

San Fu Maltha left A-Film In February 2006.[7] In 2008, Pim Hermeling left A-Film as well.[8]

In May 2013, the company merged with Benelux Film Distributors to form A-Film Benelux.[9]

On 14 September 2015, the company filed an automatic stay; it filed for bankruptcy the next day.[10][11][1] Dutch FilmWorks bought the distribution rights to the company's film library on 3 November.[12]
