15 YEARS OF MOVIE VISION FOR FOCUS FEATURES

- By Mark Olsen

In its 15 years, Focus Features has become an art-house and awards circuit fixture with such titles as “Brokeback Mountain,” “Lost in Translatio­n,” “The Pianist,” “Milk,” “The Theory of Everything,” “Loving” and now, “The Beguiled” and “The Book of Henry”; its films have earned 105 Academy Award nods and won 21 Oscars.

“Focus was built from Day 1 on the belief that filmmakers who are given the freedom and support to see their vision through will craft works of tremendous personal, cultural and aesthetic impact,” Chairman Peter Kujawski said via email. “We hope that moviegoers will see Focus as a place that not only entertains them but also ignites a spark of inspiratio­n in them to feel, to connect and to make a difference in the world.”
