Seven Arts Pictures PLC (SAPXF.OB) is a UK-based independent producer and distributor of quality feature films. The company has distinguished itself as a source for both high-quality films (such as those shown at the Cannes Film Festival) and marketable, big-budget feature films that appeal to a worldwide audience.
Seven Arts is making a specific effort to acquire and distribute films with substantial DVD and home video potential, even if there is limited theatrical release. Such “made for DVD” films are particularly popular in the “horror” and “family entertainment” genres which Seven Arts is pursuing aggressively. One strategy that Seven Arts is pursuing is to assist in the actual production of several films each year to provide additional product for its distribution system. The company hopes to increase its library of approximately 21 films to more than 75 films within the next 5 years.
Seven Arts is currently involved with the Arthurian historical epic adventure, “Mortal Armor: The Legend of Galahad”. This film, which is in pre-production, follows the journey of young Galahad in his quest for the Holy Grail, which a dying King Arthur believed might save his war-ravaged kingdom from destruction. As the story unfolds, Galahad finds his first love, meets his long-lost father, Lancelot, and seeks to prove himself a worthy knight. The company has secured the worldwide rights to the film.
