The impact of CINELAN
CINELAN is a new company dedicated to supporting the production and syndication of professionally-produced, three-minute documentary films. With international presence and offices in New York, London, and Luxembourg, CINELAN brings the diverse voices of documentary filmmakers to global audiences hungry for short, compelling film stories they can’t resist.
Meeting the content needs for our broad network of media distribution partners, CINELAN is building a rich library of “must see” three-minute stories on a range of topics that include world affairs, environmental issues, entertainment, technology, and humor. Mainstream audiences experience media through content-rich websites, digital cinemas, TV, and mobile devices. Our syndication process brings those audiences the critical lens of professional filmmakers, while offering filmmakers immediate funding and a reliable revenue stream.
CINELAN enjoys the support of Arts Alliance, a London-based venture capital group dedicated to supporting the development of innovative and high growth businesses, particularly in technology-enabled service and media companies. The group focuses on digital distribution of filmed entertainment. For more than a decade, Arts Alliance has supported technology investments in new media companies, including AtomFilms.com, LOVEFiLM, and Picturehouse, the UK’s largest independent cinema chain. Arts Alliance Media operates the UK Film Council’s Digital Screen Network and runs Vizumi.com, making films available for digital download.
