First four titles are "A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams & the Warhol Factory," by Esther B. Robinson; an untitled documentary about Alice Neel, helmed by Andrew Neel; "The Cool School: The Story of the Ferus art Gallery," by Morgan Neville; and an untitled Jean-Michel Basquiat docu by Tamra Davis.

Arthouse Films has recently inked similar output deals with Madman Entertainment for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, Mongrel Media for Canada, Revolver Entertainment in the U.K. and Ireland, Arts Alliance America for DVD distribution in the U.S. and Apple iTunes in the U.S. for digital downloads. New pact sees Fortissimo handle all remaining foreign territories and have a first look on future productions and acquisitions.

Fortissimo previously repped "Lou Reed's Berlin" by Julian Schnabel, "Black, White + Gray: a Portrait of Sam Wagstaff and Robert Mapplethorpe," and "Sketches of Frank Gehry," from the same stable.
