Multicom Entertainment Group acquired nearly 400 hours of content for its live and on-demand channel, TheArchive.
The independent distribution company picked up highlights from the library of Academy Award-winning producer Arthur Cohn. Multicom will restore notable films to 4K UHD, including Richard Dembo’s Dangerous Moves, which was released in 1985 and won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The package includes Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Black and White in Color, which was the 1977 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language film, and Dominique Gaisseau’s Sky Above, Mud Below, which won the 1962 Oscar for Best Documentary. Additional titles include The Yellow Star, a 1981 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary, and White Lies, which was directed by Ken Selden and starred Rosanna Arquette and Jared Harris.
Multicom also bought the Stellis Media library, which includes dozens of scripted and unscripted broadcast titles.
Bryan Crocker, COO of Multicom, said, “As we continue acquiring high quality content for TheArchive to meet the demands of our growing audience, it is key to keep our live and on demand channel streaming the very best in rare, retro, and 4K UHD restored movies and series.”
Darrin Holender, president, added, “The Arthur Cohn library is yet another example of how Multicom’s deep and growing relationships with producers of high-quality content contribute to both our distribution pipelines with partners like Pluto, Tubi, Roku, and Xumo, while also bolstering our flagship channel TheArchive.”
