Scottish-based distributor Cinefile has acquired the UK theatrical rights to Emmanuel Mouret's Change Of Address (Changement D'Adresse) and Steve Hudson's drama True North.

As a specialist in French-language titles, Cinefile is best known for the UK release of Cedric Klapisch's L'Auberge Espagnole (also known as The Spanish Apartment or Pot Luck).

Mouret's romantic comedy was a critical hit at Cannes 2006. Mouret stars alongside Frederique Bel, Dany Brillant, Fanny Valette, Ariane Ascaride in the story of a musician's romantic misadventures in Paris.

Thriller True North was a world premiere at Toronto in 2006 and subsequently won a BAFTA Scotland best actor prize for Martin Compston as a young trawlerman who combats economic hardship by using his vessel for the illegal transportation of Chinese migrants across the North Sea.

The film, sold by Bankside, also stars Peter Mullan and Gary Lewis. Cinefile plans a September release.
