Consolidating our position as the leading UK specialist source for film imagery, Mary Evans Picture Library is delighted to announce its worldwide representation of the archive of STUDIOCANAL Films Ltd.

The STUDIOCANAL Films collection includes artwork, production and publicity images from over 1000 titles from the early days of sound cinema to the late 1980s. Highlights include early Hitchcock films, the classic Ealing comedies of the 1950s such as The Lavender Hill Mob and The Ladykillers, as well as the much-loved series of Carry On films including Carry on Screaming and Carry on Cleo.

All genres are covered: war movies, including The Dam Busters, and family classics such as 1970’s The Railway Children, not forgetting a fabulous range of horror and thriller titles, notably many from Hammer House. Other gems include Brighton Rock featuring the late Sir Richard Attenborough, the original The Belles of St. Trinian’s, Dunkirk with Sir John Mills and David Bowie in the arthouse sci-fiction tale, The Man Who Fell to Earth. A wide variety of stills from productions are joined by a range of superb film posters showcasing, in many examples, the very best of graphic and illustrative 20th century design. The Mary Evans content team have been working to fully keyword the whole collection, offering the opportunity to unearth never before published gems.

While images from STUDIOCANAL are available initially for editorial use, clients interested in content for non-editorial projects are encouraged to get in touch as, subject to permissions, there is potential for images to be reproduced in a variety of additional forms including merchandise.
