Cinelicious Pics serves as the distribution arm for Cinelicious, which was founded by Paul Korver and Dennis Bartok, both former American Cinematheque programmers. Their goal was to distribute new independent films and documentaries from both the U.S. and abroad. In November 2014, they announced their first project, restoring and re-releasing Eiichi Yamamoto's cult classic Belladonna of Sadness. This restoration work was completed in-house by their team. In 2015, Cinelicious Pics was recognized as the best indie film distributor by LA Weekly. In 2017, Arbelos Films began managing their film library.
