Metro Tartan
Tartan Films was a UK-based film distributor, established in 1984 by Hamish McAlpine. It also had the subsidiaries Tartan USA, Tartan Video and the East Asian brand Tartan Asia Extreme. Between 1992-2003 Tartan Films operated under the name Metro-Tartan Distribution before reverting back. In June 2008, Tartan went into administration and laid off its employees, following the collapse of its US branch. The library of films was sold to the Palisades Media Group. On September 28, 2008, the newly named Palisades Tartan released its first UK DVD title, the horror-thriller P2.
