Central Partnership

Central Partnership (Russian: Централ Партнершип) is a Russian film distribution and production company founded in 1995.

Central Partnership started as a TV content distributor in 1995-2000 and gradually the company has engaged in new businesses – theatrical & Home Video distribution. Today, Central Partnership is the largest TV distributor and No 1 independent film distributor.

Among the most lucrative releases of the last years are Van Helsing, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Amélie, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto, Shadowboxing, Wolfhound, Taras Bulba and Hipsters. Central Partnership has also launched a brand of CP Classics in a segment of independent films distribution where the company has traditionally been one of the strongest market players.

In 2000 Central Partnership co-produced Four-handed Dinner – a film that got TEFI, the most important Russian TV award, as the Best TV Story Film. In 2002 Central Partnership launched its own production of feature films. Currently, Central Partnership is a market leader in the segment of film production with its titles loved by the audience and awarded by the most prominent film festivals. The lineup of Central Partnership is pretty diverse with some of its titles targeting general audience (Shadowboxing or Wolfhound) while other titles appeal to a more sophisticated audience (Mermaid).

Apart from film content Central Partnership also produces high-end TV series (Master & Margarita, Doctor Zhivago, The Golden Calf, The Brothers Karamazov, Isaev: The Greatest Soviet Spy and Liquidation).
