signature on their work. We focus on international arthouse productions by
emerging talents, whose realizations differentiate themselves through an
original approach and unique style. media luna offers a broad spectrum of
feature-length films and documentaries as well as television movies and
documentaries.
With our line-up we intend to reflect the many differences and encounters
among the world cultures to highlight the world‘s fascinating diversity.
The company’s strategy is based on building long-lasting relationships with
producers and directors, in providing individual marketing strategies to each
film for an effective and sensible placement on the international market.
Therefore, you will find films in media luna’s catalogue from a large number
of countries and various expressions as well as styles: from the very “arty”
point-of-view to the funny comedy to the “sexy” drama and genres, such as
LGBT.
