Sundance Channel has acquired all U.S. rights to The Art of Seduction, an anthology of short films about seduction, featuring the work of ten Canadian filmmakers.

Each week one of the ten two-minute pieces will premiere simultaneously on sundancechannel.com and exclusively for mobile via Helio, beginning with Guy Maddin's Nude Caboose on October 30, 2006. The films will also be available for sale via Sundance Channel's digital partners. The series was acquired from the Toronto based production company, marblemedia.

In addition to the short films, Sundance Channel will launch exclusive content around the film project on a dedicated mini-site at http://www.sundancechannel.com/seduction. The Art of Seduction minisite will house quizzes and polls, podcasts, exclusive video, filmmaker profiles and user-generated stories.
