Paramount Vantage (originally known as Paramount Classics) is the specialty film division of Paramount Pictures (which in turn is part of Viacom), charged with producing, purchasing, distributing and marketing films, generally those with a more "art house" feel than films made and distributed by its parent company.
In 2006, Paramount Classics President John Lesher announced the name change to Paramount Vantage. The Paramount Classics brand was to be relaunched as a distributor of "smaller, review-driven films", such as foreign-language acquisitions and documentaries.[1]
