October 22nd, 2024 TRIBECA FILMS ANNOUNCES NEW OUTPUT DEALS WITH KANOPY AND KINEMA TO DISTRIBUTE THE BEST OF INDEPENDENT CINEMA TO WIDER AUDIENCES
Kanopy on Board as Exclusive Educational and Public Library Streamer of Tribeca Films
NEW YORK - (October 22, 2024) - Tribeca Films, a distribution label from Tribeca Enterprises and Giant Pictures, today announced multi-year partnerships with Kanopy and Kinema to stream the label's catalog of highly anticipated, independent cinema from top festivals. The output deals are a first of its kind for all parties as Tribeca is the first festival to license films with Kanopy and Kinema, and Kanopy is the exclusive educational and public library streaming partner for the label. Both streaming platforms will support Tribeca Films' aim to present acclaimed films to new streaming audiences and generate revenue for independent filmmakers.
In the new age of streaming and content deals, Tribeca Films' platform partnerships with Kanopy and Kinema are important revenue structures for independent films. Kanopy collaborates with public libraries and universities to stream content without requiring fees of users or weaving in commercials. Kinema is a direct-to-consumer exhibition platform for filmmakers and non-theatrical distributors to deliver live screenings to audiences in person or virtually on demand. They recently introduced a new Pay What You Wish feature allowing audiences to pay to watch on a sliding scale. The streaming platforms democratize meaningful film and television for wide audiences, and the partnerships will bring greater visibility and profile to award-winning festival films that were historically limited to a smaller population of viewers.
Tribeca is a leading destination for filmmakers-from developing a project with Tribeca Studios, premiering at the annual Festival, to distributing with Tribeca Films. We seek to champion independent cinema, and there are no better partners than Kanopy and Kinema, said Tribeca CEO and Co-Founder Jane Rosenthal. More people deserve access to great films. These output deals will make it even easier for wider audiences to discover and watch festival favorites using a library card or attending a local screening event.
Tribeca Films holds more than 50 titles in its library. The first collection of films under the agreement with Kanopy are 2022 Tribeca Festival Best Narrative winner Good Girl Jane, Mary Heilmann: Waves, Roads, & Hallucinations, A Bronx Tale, In Her Name, among others. Similarly, new label releases Good Girl Jane, In Her Name, Nude Tuesday, Roving Women as well as catalog favorites Listen Up Philip and My Awkward Sexual Adventure are now available on Kinema.
At Kanopy, our mission is to bring diverse and meaningful films to public libraries and universities, offering a carefully curated selection of cinema to viewers everywhere, said OverDrive EVP of Content Jason Tyrrell, the company behind Kanopy. This partnership with Tribeca Films allows us to amplify that mission by providing exclusive access to some of the most acclaimed festival films, making it possible for more audiences to discover and enjoy these incredible stories.
Kinema CEO Christie Marchese added: Tribeca Films is known for making some of the world's most creative and original films, which is why we're thrilled to help expand their distribution footprint and allow our growing audience of movie-lovers to watch these titles wherever and whenever they wish.
This October, Tribeca Festival Lisboa will be the must-attend event, bringing together visionary talent from around the world to celebrate and explore the art of storytelling in all its forms, said Francisco Pedro Pinto Balsem o, CEO of Grupo Impresa. The collaboration between SIC, OPTO, and Tribeca promises to be a cultural force, offering our local Portuguese talent the visibility and international recognition they deserve.
As with the annual Tribeca Festival in New York City, Tribeca Festival Lisboa will reach beyond film to encompass the full range of storytelling mediums, including podcasts and live music. Attendees can look forward to live recordings of one of Portugals most popular podcast series - Gera o 70, Gera o 80, and Gera o 90 - as well Ricardo Ara jo Pereira's podcast Coisa Que N o Edifica Nem Destr i, which returns for a second season this fall.
Both deals were negotiated by Nick Savva for Tribeca Films with Jason Tyrrell for OverDrive and Christie Marchese for Kinema. More information on Tribeca Films can be found at TribecaFilm.com/TribecaFilms.
