Leading UK distributor Revolver gives subversive British artist’s first foray into filmmaking a nationwide theatrical canvas

LONDON. The UK’s most innovative film distributor Revolver Entertainment is to release celebrated British graffiti artist Banksy’s first feature film Exit Through the Gift Shop, on March 5.

“Banksy is an iconic figure in contemporary British culture.  It’s an honour to be involved in such an exciting and uncompromising project,” says Revolver’s CEO Justin Marciano. 

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview.

Revolver Entertainment, one of the leading independents, is a multi-award winning, marketing-led, all rights film distributor that continues to shake up the industry with a unique, innovative approach to managing releases. Founded in 1997, the company has operations in both London and Los Angeles.

Definitive version of events surrounding infamous Range Rover Murders attracts all-star British cast
 
LONDON.  Award-winning UK distributor Revolver Entertainment is to distribute Sacha Bennett’s murderous gangland feature BONDED BY BLOOD, which begins shooting next month.  The film is based on the best selling book by Bernard O’Mahoney, which or the first time, offers the definitive version of the full horrific story behind the infamous Rettendon Range Rover murders of 1995.
 
BONDED BY BLOOD stars Kierston Wareing (Fish Tank, It’s a Free World), Tamer Hassan (Dead Man Running, The Football Factory), Vincent Regan (Clash of the Titans, 300), Terry Stone (Rise of the Footsoldier, Rollin’ with the Nines), Emily Beecham (28 Weeks Later, The Calling), Adam Deacon (Kidulthood, Adulthood), Neil Maskell (Basic Instinct 2, Atonement), Dave Legeno (Batman Begins, Outlaw) and Susie Amy (Lesbian Vampire Killers, House of 9).
 
Despite several attempts to accurately unravel the true events behind the killings, BONDED BY BLOOD will be the first to accurately bring this brutal and uncompromising story to the big screen.  The film takes us back to the lead up to the brutal slayings – the drug shipments, the tortures, the murders and a graphic insight into the men behind the gangland operations that led to the deaths of these notorious underworld figures. BONDED BY BLOOD is directed by Sacha Bennett, written by Graeme Muir and produced by Terry Stone and Daniel Toland.  Ali Asad (Dead Man Running, Rise of the Footsoldier) is director of photography.  Executive producers are Caroline Bennett, Ajay Parkash, Sudir Taparia, Mike Diamond, Tony Jimenez, Terry Byrne and Kevin Cash.

For the next two weeks London goes film mad with the London Film Festival taking over the capital.
We are proud to have the much anticipated new film from Jim Jarmusch, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL, and ADRIFT which stars actor of the moment Vincent Cassel, both playing in the coveted Film On The Square Section.

Set on Brazil's Buzios beaches in the early 1980s, the story of one girl's coming of age is a sophisticated, handsome melodrama of considerable class.
One glorious summer in the early 1980s, a family leave Rio for a holiday on the Buzios beaches. Fourteen-year-old Filipa (Laura Neiva), the oldest of three children, is pretty and popular with her teenage pals, spending her time gossiping with the girls and innocently flirting with the boys. She seems content enough, until she gradually discovers her parents have ulterior motives in being away from home. Her father Matias (Vincent Cassel) is a writer struggling to finish his latest novel and is prone to lengthy, unexplained afternoon disappearances, while her mother Clarice (Débora Bloch) is hitting the bottle heavily, and begins to pick fights with Matias given the slightest opportunity.

The holiday starts to look like it's been set up as a distraction from their marriage falling apart, and Filipa struggles to comprehend how and why this is the case, while also coming to terms with her own burgeoning sexuality. Heitor Dhalia is a Brazilian filmmaker with a couple of low-budget, award-winning features to his name; Adrift confirms his reputation as one of the brightest talents emerging from South America. A sophisticated, handsome melodrama of considerable class, in which the finely drawn characters and outstanding performances resonate. Newcomer Neiva marks her arrival with a striking turn, and she's ably supported by the more established cast around her.

Jarmusch's audacious latest is a poetic, allusive, visually stunning variation on the conventional hitman movie, with Isaach De Bankolé heading a thrilling cast.
Jim Jarmusch's latest brave, bizarre and very beautiful film (it was shot by Chris Doyle) takes the conventions of the hitman movie and, through a theme-and-variations structure, turns them into both a wry meditation on the malignancy of power and a poetic celebration of the power of the imagination. Isaach de Bankolé, cool as hell in Point Blank suits, is perfect as a taciturn, solitary agent sent to Spain, where a string of coded café encounters with various mysterious eccentrics (Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Gael García Bernal et al) eventually leads to a deadly assignation.

Jarmusch's deliciously dry humour inflects the play with movie clichés, while the picaresque narrative – packed with literary, artistic, musical and cinematic allusions ranging from Cubism to Kaurismäki, Le Samourai to Schubert – muses on all manner of loosely linked subjects even as it slowly but surely closes in on its target: American neo-con thinking!

The film's freewheeling, subtly iconoclastic form reflects its fascination with imaginative freedom and the relationship between life and art, while also allowing for individual scenes of quite startling force, notably a flamenco bar sequence reminding us of our own limits, and the final encounter. Jarmusch is inviting us to take a trip; full of richly rewarding surprises and revelations, it's well worth climbing on board.

Revolver Entertainment is excited to announce their new acquisition TONY which is a British horror brought to you by the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund, executive producer Paul Abbott the creator of STATE OF PLAY and SHAMELESS and exciting newcomer director Gerard Johnson.

Boldly crafted into a creepy yet darkly funny, this urban nightmare will lurk in your memory as will Tony...  A loner, and his main source of company is classic 80s action movies he owns on VHS but that doesn't stop him trying to make real friends – with, for instance, the drug dealers who hang out near his home in Dalston, and the ladies who advertise their services in Soho call boxes. But when a local child goes missing, his odd lifestyle begins to attract attention – Will his secrets be exposed?  

TONY received its world premiere at Edinburgh Film Festival 2009.
