Palador Pictures – The Home of World Cinema, Foreign Language Films and Quality Content. The Programming People

Television

Medium & Market: The idiot box has moved on to be neither much of an idiot nor much of a box. The infusion of technology, rise in consumer spending-power, demand for customized content with the least advertising intrusion, and better choice has spurred the growth of Direct To Home (DTH), IPTV, Video ON Demand (VOD), and Pay Per View (PPV). Naturally, there is a huge demand for original, never before seen and quality content.

Palador address that demand with a supply of over 2000 hours of content in its kitty.

Our Programming: Palador is equipped not only to provide exhaustive content to channel owners, but to program them individually and provide an USP based on the Target Audience of the channel.

Niche content like World Cinema, needs the backing of various other "Special Features" to go along with it. These features are of different types, including earlier shorter works of the master directors, commentaries, feature on the worldwide impact of the films etc. Palador is producing these features on its own, as well as acquiring the same from rights holders across the world.

Besides this, Palador can source the required content from across the world (an expertise we also leverage in festivals).

Releasing Soon: Beginning in April on Sundays, Zee Studio will air 26 films from the Palador catalogue. These are some of the greatest films ever made from master directors: like Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, Wong Kar Wai, Francois Truffaut, Krzysztof Kieslowski and others. The following is a tentative list of films. We will soon be putting up a detailed schedule of the films here. Please visit this link to know more.
