MK2 Films Boosts Catalog with Acclaimed Director Shorts

Paris-based international sales powerhouse MK2 Films is expanding its prestigious catalog with a slate of rare and lesser-seen short films by some of the most prominent auteurs in contemporary cinema. The latest acquisitions feature works by acclaimed filmmakers Brady Corbet, Kleber Mendonça Filho, and Céline Sciamma.

The major industry acquisition was officially unveiled in France during the prestigious Lumière Film Festival in Lyon. The festival, heavily focused on the preservation and celebration of cinematic history, is headed by Cannes director Thierry Frémaux and runs alongside the International Classic Film Market.

Expanding the Collection of Established Auteurs

With this strategic acquisition, MK2 Films continues to grow its specialized collection dedicated to hidden gems and smaller-scale works crafted by master directors. While feature-length projects typically dominate global sales markets, these short films offer cinephiles and international buyers a unique glimpse into the creative visions of Corbet, Mendonça Filho, and Sciamma in more concise formats.

As reported by Variety, the additions strengthen the company's position as a premier destination for high-end international art-house cinema. For more updates on the latest industry developments, visit our Entertainment section.
