ADV have launched a new section of their website dedicated to their theatrical releases.

ADV Theatrical Division

Quote: ADV Films, the #1 producer-distributor of anime in the U.S., today announced that they are expanding the ADV Films website to include a page dedicated to the company’s theatrical releases (www.advfilms.com/theatrical).

The new website, with an emphasis on Japanese and Korean films, offers a one-stop information source for both film buffs and theatre professionals, providing background material on each film as well as listings of theatres and play dates for current showings. Theatre managers and publicists are able to download press materials, including biographies, cast and crew lists, interviews and art work for each film. Film buyers have the ability to check out ADV Theatrical’s release schedule as well as a chance to see what films are available in 35 mm from ADV’s library, such as the classic Gamera series.

This expansion of the web site comes at time when the cinema world is focusing on the Korean film making industry. Richard Pena, Director of the New York Film Festival and curator of the Korean Film retrospective at Lincoln Center recently stated “With recent major festival awards at Cannes and Venice, the cinema of South Korea has become one of the most respected, and eagerly anticipated, national cinemas anywhere today.”

“This new page is a welcome addition to our web site” said John Ledford, president, CEO and co-founder of ADV Films. “Our anime web site has always been very popular with our fans and I know that our theatrical page will be also.”
