Corinth Films
1977–Present
Description

Since 1977, Corinth Films has been distributing foreign and independent arthouse cinema to audiences in the US & Canada. Beginning with such classics as David Lynch’s Eraserhead and Federico Fellini’s 8 1/2, Corinth’s more recent releases have included films by up-and-coming international directors as well as acclaimed longstanding auteurs such as Andrei Konchalovsky, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, and Edgar Reitz. As the film-viewing landscape changes, the desire for intellectually stimulating and entertaining films will not, and Corinth continues its mission to acquire and release undiscovered, international watch-worthy content.

    Nakom

    film/video, 2016

    An intimate narrative from northern Ghana, NAKOM follows Iddrisu, a talented medical student who returns to his home village after his father's sudden death. Faced with a debt that could destroy his family, Iddrisu has no choice but to turn their farm and fortunes around. Over the course of a growing season, Iddrisu confronts both the tragedy and beauty of village life, and must finally choose between two very different futures. NAKOM premiered at the 2016 Berlinale, marking two historic firsts – the first fiction feature from Ghana ever to play the festival, and the first fiction feature directed by a trans woman ever to play the festival. TW Pittman is a TWOC and SF-native, and co-directed NAKOM with her longtime collaborator Kelly Daniela Norris.
