Accent Film Entertainment is an independent film distributor releasing a diverse range of films in all genres from around the globe. Accent has become synonymous with first-rate product, aggressive and strategic release campaigns, utilization of brand cross promotions and artistic integrity. Accent is dedicated to realizing the visions of independent filmmakers without compromise and is a dedicated ground for nurturing these visions.

In 2004, Accent’s initial releases included Gasper Noe’s notorious masterpiece, IRREVERSIBLE and followed this with the successful theatrical release in 2005 of Michael Winterbottom’s intimate romance drama, 9 SONGS, and Matthew Barney’s artistic triumph, DRAWING RESTRAINT 9. In 2008, Accent’s releases included HE WAS A QUIET MAN starring Christian Slater and Elisha Cuthbert, SLIPSTREAM starring and directed by Anthony Hopkins, and the AFI nominated Australian film, ALL MY FRIENDS ARE LEAVING BRISBANE.

In 2007, Accent Film Entertainment launched its new imprint, Accent Underground,

in support of truly independent films by talented filmmakers whose ingenuity and creativity far exceed the budgets at their disposal. Accent Underground strives to discover, nurture and showcase independent Australian filmmakers and ensure they receive a theatrical and/or a DVD release, and help to exploit revenue potential through newly evolving digital media opportunities both in Australia and overseas, in an increasingly competitive and crowded marketplace.

Up-coming Accent releases for 2009 include the French erotic drama, THE RING FINGER, starring the new Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko, and the scathing documentary, I.O.U.S.A which focuses on the ever-increasing US national debt crisis and its global implications which have started to reverberate around the world in recent months. There is also the DVD release of the AFI nominated film, THE TENDER HOOK starring Hugo Weaving and Rose Byrne. Other notable DVD releases for 2009 include the romantic fantasy, ELVIS AND ANABELLE, starring Blake Lively from the smash hit TV show, GOSSIP GIRL.
