Intermedia Films was an American independent film production company, wholly owned by IM Internationalmedia AG.

The company mostly acted as a co-producer, funding films through the IMF (Internationale Medien und Film, German for "International Media and Film") funds. As of 2012, Intermedia's library was owned by Ron Tutor and David Bergstein.

History

[edit]

The company was founded in London in 1991 as Intermedia Film Equities.[1] Four years later, it was re-established as Intermedia Films by Guy East (formerly of Goldcrest Films and Majestic Films International) and Nigel Sinclair.[2] By 1997, Intermedia began operations in Los Angeles, as did Pacifica Film Distribution.[citation needed] The two companies merged on March 29, 2000.[3]

Its first success of note was Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, which opened the Sundance Film Festival.
