Swipe Films' distribution division's first release was Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow starring Kirsten Dunst and Edde Izzard. Its other releases include the Spanish box office hits, The Other Side of the Bed and Carmen, both starring Paz Vega and Take My Eyes and Princesses, winner of 10 Goya Awards between them, the Danish hit movie, Inheritance, winner of 6 Danish Oscars and Strings starring James McAvoy and Tony Gatlif's Exiles, winner of Best Director at the Cannes Film Film Festival. It is a proud champion of independent British cinema and These Foolish Things starring Lauren Bacall, Anjelica Huston and Terence Stamp received the royal seal of approval with a Royal Charity Premiere. Another recent British release Bigga Than Ben, starring Ben Barnes was described as "dark, funny, charming, fast, immoral, decadent and delightful" by the Sunday Times. Its most recent release is the hit wine-themed French movie, You Will Be My Son (Tu Seras Mon Fils), which stars Niels Arestrup. It has the distinction of being the longest running film in cinemas in the UK, playing for almost 7 months, thanks to an innovative marketing and social media campaign, offering a free glass of wine with every movie ticket.
