20th Century Fox leads distributors with 14 shortlist mentions, Momentum and Lionsgate have 10, Warner Bros are on 8.
Screen International has unveiled the shortlist for its third annual Screen UK Marketing & Distribution Awards.
Distributors leading the shortlist are Fox with 14 nods, Momentum and Lionsgate with 10 each, Warner Bros with 8 and Artificial Eye, Pathe, Sony and Disney all on 6.
Leading films by shortlist mentions are The Woman In Black on 6, The Iron Lady on 5, We Need To Talk About Kevin, The Dark Knight and The Hunger Games all with 4 mentions.
“The shortlist for the Screen awards this year shows a continued and increasing dynamism in the marketing and distribution of films in the UK,” said Screen editor Mike Goodridge. “We are pleased that campaigns reflecting different types of film and scale of budget were submitted this year, and the shortlist really represents how big and small films alike can capture the imagination and want-to-see of their target audiences.”
The third annual Screen UK Marketing & Distribution Awards will honour marketing and distribution campaigns between August 2011 and July 2012.
There are two new awards being introduced this year: Rising Star, recognising up-and-coming young industry executives in marketing and distribution, which will be announced separately, and UK International Sales Company of the Year to honour their work on marketing campaigns, promo reels, trailers and film positioning.
The Awards will be given out at a gala event held on Oct 4 at The Grange St Paul’s Hotel in London
This year’s jury includes Gareth Unwin, Andrew Cripps, Hugo Grumbar, Edith Bowman, Christian Grass and Mia Bays.
