Ovation TV Announces New Film Series
Ovation TV, the recently re-launched network with a pulse on how to entertain, inspire and engage the artist in all of us, announces the launch of “Destination Arthouse.”
As a new film series, “Destination Arthouse,” in collaboration with Preeminent Film Distributor Janus Films, will feature an exciting collection of some of the most classic films of the past 80 years.
This riveting series will give you another glimpse into some of the most compelling and in some cases, milestone films, such as the film that launched Fellin’s career with an Oscar for foreign cinema, (La Strada) Louis Malle’s classic dinner conversation (My Dinner with André), the allegory that arthouse filmmakers continue to reference thanks to Ingmar Bergman (Seventh Seal), along with many others.
All films will be aired- with limited interruption- Saturday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT beginning on October 13th.
