Filmgroup
 PROFILE
If it's fun and it's films, it'll fit Filmgroup, the film distribution company. Already a player in theatrical distribution through its Redbus Film Distribution unit, which releases up to 25 films a year, Filmgroup is moving into video-on-demand services via its films2.com portal. The company is building a library of films that can be streamed to viewers through broadband telephone technology. The films2.com site also offers film-related merchandise and entertainment news. Internet investor Cliff Stanford owns a majority stake in Filmgroup (founded in 1998), while Helkon Media AG has a 51% stake in the company's film distribution unit. In a volatile market for Internet firms, a planned flotation has been postponed.
