Palisades Tartan
Palisades Tartan is a British/American film distribution company, founded by US-based Palisades Media Group to take over the film library of film distributor Tartan Films after it folded in Summer 2008.〔(Palisades / Tartan Name New President )〕
==History==
Tartan Films, established in 1984,〔Geoffrey McNab ("Death of a salesman", ) ''The Guardian'' 4 July 2009〕 was a UK-based film distributor. Founder Hamish McAlpine (not the same Hamish McAlpine that played football for Dundee United) is credited with creating the term "Asia Extreme" and making such films accessible to the masses. It also owned the US-based Tartan USA and Tartan Video. It has distributed East Asian films under the brand ''Tartan Asia Extreme''. Between 1992-2003 Tartan Films operated under the name Metro-Tartan Distribution before reverting to Tartan Films. More recently, it has released similar films of other origins, under its Tartan Terror brand. Such films include ''Battle Royale'', the ''Whispering Corridors'' series ''A Tale of Two Sisters'', ''The Last Horror Movie'' and ''Oldboy''.〔(Interview with Tartan Video president Tony Borg ), Ohmynews.com.〕
Tartan Films USA released various internationally acclaimed films for the US market, including ''Oldboy'', ''Triad Election'', ''The Page Turner'', ''12:08 East of Bucharest'', ''''Red Road'''', ''9 Songs'', ''The Death of Mr. Lazarescu'', ''The Cave of the Yellow Dog'', and ''Battle in Heaven''. Tartan USA's DVD catalogue was released through Genius Products, which was 70% owned by the Weinstein Company.〔()〕
In June 2008, Tartan went into administration, laid off its employees, and ceased operations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.screendaily.com/ScreenDailyArticle.aspx?intStoryID=39611 )〕 The US branch was shuttered a month earlier and its library of films was sold to the Palisades Media Group. Shortly after the sale, a representative of the Bryanston Distributing Company made a seven-figure cash offer to buy the company’s film library, but the offer was rejected by Palisades Media.
