Reported by EIN Presswire — African Diaspora International Film Festival · Nov 5, 2026
ArtMattan Films announced its acquisition of U.S. distribution rights to The Ghost of Hing King Estate, the final feature directed by Trinidadian-British filmmaker Horace Ové. The distributor scheduled the film’s U.S. premiere for December 12 at the African Diaspora International Film Festival in New York, with additional festival and theatrical engagements planned for 2027.
Intelligence Brief
The acquisition illustrates how specialist distribution can create a new territorial market for existing Black film catalogs. ArtMattan’s planned festival-to-theatrical rollout positions cultural programming as an audience-development route for a film originally produced in 2007.
