Seville Pictures

Logo descriptions by EnormousRat Editions by CooleyBoy10 Video captures by EmbassyThat Logo1 and The Logo Archive

Background: In 1997, Malofilm changed into Behaviour Communications, and in 1999 to Seville Pictures, also known as Les Films Séville. In 2007, E1 took over the company and turned it into the distribution unit in Canada. In 2008 Séville took over Christian Larouche's Christal Films, which filed for bankruptcy earlier that year. In 2014 the international division was launched, intended to distribute indie films. Séville Pictures handles distribution of Francophone Films: it plays basically the same role as Alliance Vivafilm (the division of Alliance Films, taken over by Entertainment One) and is located in Montreal, Quebec.

2nd Logo (2009-2010) Seville Pictures (2010)

Logo: We start off with the same animation as the first E1 Entertainment logo. However, the "E1" structure does not appear. After a few seconds, the logo animates like it would normally, but without the structure, and a white rectangle with light blue-green borders zooms out, with the letters "SEVILLE" zooming onto it as it appears. Then, a light blue byline appears below: "une filiale de E1 Entertainment". The rays in the logo continue to move until it fades.

FX/SFX: Parts of the logo zoom in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare due to its short lifespan. Was seen on movie releases in Canada.

Editor's Note: None.
