Video Services Corp (VSC) and Magnolia Pictures have signed a two-year multi-platform Canadian distribution deal, under which VSC will release up to 30 films a year exclusively for the Canadian market.

The deal kicked off in January with the release of the award-winning Israeli film Big Bad Wolves, followed in March by Alan Partridge starring Steve Coogan.

Other anticipated 2014 releases include horror anthology The ABCs Of Death 2 and Toronto International Film Festival selections Life’s A Breeze and The Sacrament.
