Arts Alliance America has signed an exclusive output deal to distribute Arthouse Films titles in the US on DVD and via digital distribution.

The multi-year deal encompasses more than 15 titles a year, starting off with a slate that includes James Crump's documentary Black White + Gray: A Portrait Of Sam Wagstaff And Robert Mapplethorpe, Rebecca Chaiklin and Michael Skolnik's Lockdown USA, and A Walk Into The Sea: Danny Williams & The Warhol Factory by Esther B Robinson

Arthouse Films' David Koh and Lilly Bright negotiated the deal with Stanley Buchthal of LM Media and Arts Alliance America's president Joe Amodei.

Arthouse Films recently signed an output deal in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa with Madman Entertainment.

'We are excited to release our films with Joe Amodei and his team and we are super excited about our new slate of films and the directors and artists we are working with,' Koh and Bright said.

'We are looking forward to our partnership with Arthouse Films,' Amodei said. 'Their slate of upcoming films is a perfect match with Arts Alliance titles. Further, we are honoured to be the distribution arm for David and Lilly, knowing their track record for acquiring and producing top notch films.'
