Last week, the arrangements on selling a package of projects from FILM.UA Group distribution library to China were finalized.
Star-D Productions acquired all rights, excluding format, for the feature and TV versions of The Stronghold fantasy film produced by Kinorob and FILM.UA Group, three seasons of The Sniffer detective series produced by FILM.UA Group, and The Dragon Spell cartoon produced by Panama Grand Prix. The negotiations started in November at the American Film Market, a major platform for selling feature content, and concluded last week with the signing of a sales agreement.
“The sale of a whole package of projects – The Stronghold, The Sniffer 1, 2, 3, and The Dragon Spell – confirms the growing demand for international content in China. Production region is of secondary importance for them; instead, the key criterion used in the Chinese market is high-quality content attracting the audience’s attention. We are happy that the Chinese audience will see the Ukrainian product both on big screens and key VOD platforms of the territory,” says Evgeny Drachov, international sales manager at FILM.UA Group.
Just a reminder: during American Film Market, we reported about sales of screening rights for The Stronghold to India, France and French-speaking territories, South Korea, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, and Kyrgyzstan; and for The Stolen Princess to Vietnam, Cambodia, Romania, and Latin American countries.
