A division of APR 70 Pictures
New Renaissance Cinema
Feature films built for permanence.
New Renaissance Cinema makes feature films built for permanence. Auteur-driven and morally clear, developed for the long life of a picture. Film deserves its own conversation, and this is where APR 70 Pictures has it at feature length. Every APR 70 feature carries this banner. When a picture has a home territory, (212) or (310) joins as co-production, so a story can move rooms without changing hands. When it has none, it stands here alone.
