101 Films’ Managing Director Andy Lyon comments “101 Films is actively accelerating its UK acquisitions strategy as we look to bolster our already significant library of films in the UK, part of our long term goal is to acquire a significant volume of individual new movies and libraries where they make commercial sense to acquire as a whole.  We already have one of the largest libraries of independent film rights in UK and look to invest further into this library”.

101 Films will be attending Virtual Marche Du Film between 22 nd and 26 th June and invites sales agents and producers to make contact with its Head of Acquisitions, Steve Davey (Steve@101-films.com / +44 7712 601 708).
