Jeremy Kay in Los Angeles 18 October 2006 US video-on-demand service Eurocinema has signed an exclusive deal with independent film distributor First Run Features to handle First Run's catalogue of titles. Premiere First Run Features titles launching on Eurocinema in December include Claude Chabrol's Merci Pour Le Chocolat, Ludivine Sagnier's La Petite Lili, Dani Levy's Go For Zucker, and Ole Christian Madsen's Kira's Reason. "First Run Features' roster includes award-winning foreign film titles that are not readily accessible by North American audiences until now for the first time on Eurocinema," Eurocinema's head of US operations Larry Namer said. "We're delighted to add First Run's content to our offerings and look forward to a long and successful partnership." Each feature presented by Eurocinema is the centrepiece of a two-hour hosted thematic programming block, with supplemental content such as host commentary, original documentaries, and director interviews.
