Kinology

Kinology will handle international sales of the movie in association with Logical Pictures.

Gregoire Melin's Kinology, for instance, got a Cofiloisirs loan to pick up the animated feature "Mune" from Alexandre Heboyan and Benoit Philippon.

He's quickly expanding his repertoire to include serious film producing credits and he was in Sundance with "A Girl Walks Home at Night," for which Kinology acquired international sales rights.

A film lover with bold and eclectic tastes, Melin has elevated his 4-year-old sales outfit, Kinology, to the rank of France's top indie film export shingles.

CREDITS: A Mars Distribution (in France) release of a Partizan Films production, in association with Kinology, Mars.

Gregoire Melin's Kinology will unveil the first footage at Cannes.
