Screen International: Gigantic to handle online launch of First Run's Bliss by Mark Lipsky on 2009-07-08
Gigantic Digital Cinema, the new online platform announced last week by New York-based Gigantic Group, has signed a deal with First Run Features for US streaming of its feature Bliss.
The digital release nationwide will be in tandem with First Run’s theatrical opening of Bliss on August 7 at New York’s Cinema Village. Online streaming will be blocked in New York for two weeks after the theatrical run; and other anticipated theatrical markets can also be blocked online. Gigantic will stream films in high quality, commercial free for a ticket price of $2.99.
Abdullah Oguz’s Bliss (Mutluluk) is an unconventional road movie, set in Turkey, tackling the subject of honor killings.
