Medusa Film S.p.A. is an Italian film production and distribution company owned by Mediaset. It is one of the top film producers and distributors in the country.[1]

History

[edit]

Medusa Distribuzione S.r.l. was founded by Felice Colaiacono and Franco Poccioni in 1964.[2] Initially only focused on distribution, thanks to executive producer Franco Rossellini [it], in the 1970s the company began collaborating with other production companies, including Devon Film and Luciano Martino's Dania Film [it], and co-produced successful genre films and comedies. In 1983, Poccioni became the sole administrator of the company.[3][4]

In July 1986, Reteitalia [it], a subsidiary of Silvio Berlusconi's Fininvest, acquired a 49% ownership interest in Medusa.[5][6] Two years later, in 1988, Reteitalia took full ownership of the company, however, the following year, Medusa was subsequently absorbed into Penta Film [it].[7][8]

In 1995, Penta Film was dissolved and Medusa Film was restored.[9][10][11] Carlo Bernasconi [it] was appointed president, and the company resumed operations in 1996.[12][13] In 1999, Medusa announced that it would begin producing its own films.[14][15] That year, Riccardo Tozzi [it] signed a five-year contract to produce films for the company.[16] Following the death of Bernasconi in 2001, Marina Berlusconi was appointed president of Medusa.[17]

In 2002, Variety reported that Medusa Film was the second leading film distributor in Italy, holding 14% of the country's total market share.[18] In 2005, the European Audiovisual Observatory reported that Medusa was the fourth leading film distributor in Italy, holding 10.3% of the country's total market share.[19]

In July 2007, Medusa Film was sold to Mediaset,[20][21] and Pier Silvio Berlusconi was appointed to its board of directors.[22] In November 2012, Medusa sold its home video division to Warner Bros. Italia.[23]
