BT Vision Strikes Deal With Indie Film Distributor

BT has added to its list of partners for its forthcoming BT Vision service with the signing of a new video on-demand agreement with independent film distributor Momentum Pictures.

Momentum Pictures is one of the UK’s largest independent film distributors. This agreement will provide access to films such as Lost in Translation, O, Brother Where Art Thou? and Vera Drake amongst others.

BT Vision customers will be able to access a vast range of film, music and television programming all available on-demand as well as all the Freeview channels, plus interactive and communications and all available on the TV, with no compulsory subscription.

Dan Marks, CEO of BT Vision, said: “Our agreement with Momentum represents our commitment to bring the best and most varied selection of movies to our customers.”

Xavier Marchand, managing director at Momentum said: “BT Vision and interactive access to movies are extremely exciting concepts and we eagerly anticipate the launch of the service.”

BT Vision is set to launch in the autumn (see BT Unveils Next Generation TV Service). Last month BT Vision signed a deal with DreamWorks SKG (see Dream Deal For BT Vision) and has also teamed up with various companies to provide concerts and music to the service (see BT Signs Music Content For On-Demand TV Service).
