The Pride distributor is now entirely owned by Lorem Ipsum. Carol will be its next release in the territory.
New York-based media company Lorem Ipsum Corp has acquired 100% of Russian distributor Arthouse.
The Us outfit, which previously held 50% of the distributor, has purchased the remaining 50% from Arthouse co-founder Sam Klebanov, who will leave the company.
Arthouse specialises in distributing foreign and independent films, and released British Lgbt title Pride last year.
The company’s next film will be Oscar-nominated lesbian drama Carol, which it will release despite Russia’s apparent laws against “gay propaganda”.
Arthouse has also made two new hires: Evgeny Pivovarov, co-founder of Russian distributor All Media, joins as managing director, while Elena Mironchik, previously of Bazelevs Distribution and Caravella, joins as head of theatrical distribution.
Co-founder Yan Vizinberg will remain Arthouse’s CEO.

Screen spoke to Russian distributor Arthouse, which has pushed through Pride’s release despite marketing challenges.
Following this week’s Russian premiere of Pride, the British film that tells the story of Lgbt support for the 1984 miners’ strike, the film’s local distributor Arthouse has warned ScreenDaily that the country’s anti-gay propaganda law is “rolling Russia back to the dark ages”.
In 2013, the Russian legislature outlawed “propaganda” promoting “non-traditional sexual relations” and in the process restricted any films containing same-sex content to audiences over the age of 18.
Pride received an 18+ certificate in Russia, the equivalent to an Nc-17 in the USA, meaning that no one under the age of 18 can attend a screening of the film.
Arthouse CEO Yan Vizinberg told ScreenDaily that there exists a “conspiracy of silence” among federal channels, and that there is “currently huge interest in the gay rights issue in Russia” and that the film needed releasing because it “resonates with the...

Clip, a Serbian arthouse movie that swept a prestigious European festival this year was banned from screening in Russia by the Culture Ministry, prompting allegations of censorship. Banned over indecent language and scenes of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as “pornographic” depictions of sex between minors, the decision spells a new era for the Culture Ministry, headed since May by Vladimir Medinsky, a conservative-minded PR specialist with a controversial reputation. The ban was signed by Deputy Culture Minister Ivan Demidov, known for his radical Orthodox Christian views, Sam Klebanov, the prospective Russian distributor of Maywin, said.
“This is the first case of such censoring, and an attempt to introduce moral censorship in the country,” he said, adding that explicit arthouse fare never had any screening problems in Russia.
Neither Demidov nor Medinsky commented on the censorship allegations as of Saturday.
Clip, directed by Maja Milos, tells the story of a provincial teenager experimenting with drugs and sex in order to forget her near-dysfunctional family.
In January, the film split the main prize of the International Film Festival Rotterdam with two other movies. The jury touted it for an uncompromising and honest insight into the life of the “mobile generation”.
The film was set to premiere in Russia on August 30. Klebanov said the release is postponed, but not canceled because his company intends to sue.
The risk of not obtaining screening permits in Russia was previously limited almost exclusively to pornographic films with obscene titles. On important exception was Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” (2006), a scathing satire of Kazakhstan and the United States, denied the screening permit in what critics said was Moscow’s gesture of solidarity with official Astana, which was outraged by the mockumentary.
Wide and Eye on Film will show the film in Toronto along with others (see below).

Things are changing in Russia, where the Russian Orthodox Church is wielding an increasing influence over cultural affairs. The Orthodox influence has been reported as a major factor in the recent jailing of punk act Pussy Riot - their protest was staged on church property which led to charges of 'hooliganism motivated by religious hatred - and is now again being cited in the unprecedented move of Russian Deputy Culture Minister Ivan Demidov signing an outright ban on Rotterdam winning Serbian film Clip."Clip was banned over indecent language and scenes of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as 'pornographic' depictions of sex between minors,' Sam Klebanov of the distribution company Maywin Media Ab, tells Cineuropa.
