Third Window Films
Third Window Films is a UK based distributor of movies from East Asia founded in 2005. They have provided distribution for numerous award winning films, such as Oasis (2002 film) (Winner of Marcello Mastroianni Award, FIPRESCI Prize Signis Award and Special Director's Award at the Venice Film Festival), Himizu (film) (Winner of the Marcello Mastroianni Award at the Venice Film Festival), Villain (2010 film) (Best Actress winner at the Montreal Film Festival), Kotoko (film) (Winner of the Best Film Award in the Orrizonti of the Venice Film Festival), Memories of Matsuko (Best Actress, Best Editing and Best Music at Japanese Acadamy Awards) and more.

Although receiving cult status in the UK for releasing such films as Love Exposure, Cold Fish, Fish Story (film), Tetsuo: The Iron Man and others, many of Third Window Films' titles are blockbusters that feature household names in their native countries. For instance, Guns and Talks features Korean idol Won Bin star of Mother (2009 film), For Love's Sake by Takashi Miike played Out of Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, Vulgaria (film) was the highest grossing Hong Kong film of 2012 and Confessions (film), held the number one spot in Japan for a whole month despite strong competition from Sex and the City 2 and Iron Man 2 and was Japan's official nomination for the 2010 Academy Awards.

In 2011 Third Window Films opened a branch office in Japan, Third Window Films Japan, to handle international co-productions. Their first co-production, The Land of Hope directed by Sion Sono, won the NETPAC Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012.
