About Palm Pictures
Palm Pictures is an audio/visual entertainment company that produces, acquires, and distributes innovative music and film projects with a particular focus on the DVD format. Palm has positioned itself as a leader in the converging music and film markets, placing an emphasis on projects like music documentaries, arthouse & foreign cinema, and music videos. Their capabilities as a DVD producer leave them uniquely positioned to produce music in an original visual format and manage the transition from theatrical exhibition to home release. Palm Pictures' entertainment properties include a film division, a music label, sputnik7.com, epitonic.com, Arthouse Films, and RES Media Group.
Since its inception in 1998, Palm Pictures has been responsible for such critical and commercial successes as The Basketball Diaries, Sex and Lucia, The Believer, and The Director's Label Series, an ongoing retrospective of the work of the world's most acclaimed music video directors. The first three installments debuted in October, 2003 and featured the works of directors Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and Chris Cunningham. Upcoming theatrical releases include Ondi Timoner's DIG!, the 2003 Sundance winner for Best Documentary, and Time of the Wolf (Les Temps du Loup), an apocalyptic tale starring Isabelle Huppert, from the director of The Piano Teacher.
Palm is also home to a diverse music catalogue, spanning genres from world to trip hop to indie rock to electronica. Palm's world releases include African musicians Baaba Maal and Gigi, and Latin American artists like Da Lata and Sidestepper. Indie rockers Earlimart and Moving Units have firmly established Palm on the underground rock circuit, and standouts like Sly & Robbie and Xploding Plastix are just two of the many successful imports from Palm's UK division.
Palm Pictures (www.palmpictures.com) was founded in 1998 by Chris Blackwell, the innovator who started Island Records and guided the careers of artists including Bob Marley & The Wailers, Jethro Tull, Cat Stevens, Robert Palmer, U2, Melissa Etheridge, Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, and The Cranberries, to name a few. His past film projects include such seminal works as The Harder They Come, starring Jimmy Cliff, and the Oscar-winning The Kiss of the Spider Woman. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2001.
