Alliance Films (formerly Alliance Entertainment, Alliance Communications, Alliance Atlantis Releasing Ltd, Motion Picture Distribution LP and also known as Alliance Vivafilm in Quebec and also known simply as Alliance) was a Canadian motion picture distribution and production company, which had served Canada, the United Kingdom, and Spain.
Because Entertainment One acquired Alliance Films on January 9, 2013, it was dissolved into that company with Alliance Vivafilm folding into Les Films Séville in 2014. It was one of the major motion picture companies to distribute independent films outside the United States and other countries.
