Prime Video Direct (Pvd), Amazon’s self-service program for studios, distributors, and content creators, has unveiled more than two dozen titles picked up from the 2018 Guadalajara Int’l Film Festival (Ficg) where it launched its Film Festival Stars program (Ffs) in the Latino market for the first time.
Introduced at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, the Ffs program offers cash bonuses and royalties to festival films seeking to self-distribute on Amazon Prime.
Prime Video Direct’s Film Festival Stars program addresses the fact that few festival films ever manage to secure full service distribution deals. The program gives them an opportunity to reach a broader premium audience.
Starting Monday Oct. 15, these 27 titles will be available on Prime Video in Mexico, including Ficg Jury Prize winner for Ibero-American Narrative Feature, Spanish dramedy “Vivir y Otras Ficciones” (“Living and other Fictions”) and Ficg Jury Prize Ibero-American doc winner, “El Espanto” (“The Dread”) from Argentina.
