Few European arthouse-crossover film sales agents have better weathered the ebb and flow of international market dynamics than Madrid’s Latido Films, which turns 20 in 2023.
Proof of that came at April’s Platino Awards, where Latido scored six statuettes, split between an acting double for Alauda Ruiz de Azúa’s “Lullaby” and four for Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s “The Beasts,” which has already swept Spain’s Goya Awards and scored a French Cesar for foreign film.
Scoring €6.8 million ($7.5 million) in Spain, and 327,000 admissions in France, “The Beasts” also rates as one of the top-performing recent Spanish-language movies.
If Latido has survived for so long, insists director general Antonio Saura, it’s because of a core strategy of “working with talent, our search for talent.” Beyond that, other keys have been “collaboration with production companies that understand long-term relationships, and well-established relationships with clients.”

CANNES -- Didier Sapaut will exit as CEO of TF1 International, the film and TV rights trading arm of the French commercial network, sources said Tuesday. His departure comes as TF1 is in the process of reshaping its movie activity under Patrick Binet, former head of UGC International, who was hired in the summer. All indications are that TF1 International soon will have a radically overhauled management team. Former sales executive Perrine Teze moved over to head up TFM Distribution, the French distribution joint venture created early this year with Miramax Films, taking some TF1 International staff with her (HR 6/20). Co-production and acquisitions executive Massimo Saidel also is understood to be negotiating his departure from TF1 International.
