Nordisk Film and Summit Entertainment have had a close business relationship for many years and worked together on successes such as MEMENTO, DONNIE BRASCO, ALEXANDER and BABEL.
Bob Hayward, Summit Entertainment’s COO, and David Garrett, President of Summit International said: “Nordisk Film is one of the two major exhibitors and distributors in Scandinavia, and this agreement will give Summit a firm foothold in the market in the years to come. They have proved to be a most creative and professional team, and we look forward to a fruitful partnership”.
