TriArt Film is a Swedish purchasing and distribution company founded in 2010. Our ambition and focus is to be the leading quality film company in Sweden. We present new talents as much as we pay tribute to old masters. We want to show that there quality movies from all the continents of the world. TriArt Film works with all types of screening platforms. The cinema will still (and probably always will) be a unique viewing room, most people agree. But cinemas are only available in certain locations and many films do not fit or receive short plays. The competition for space is stiff and the patience to let lesser-known films find its audience is often not very great. That’s why TriArt Film is investing in its own streaming service. The quality film is always threatened with marginalization because it is in the minority. That’s why TriArt.se is important, the whole company’s profile is about diversity and spreading good and important films.
