'''Almi Television Productions''' was a subsidiary of the Almi Group, formed in November 1978 by '''Al'''bert Schwartz and '''Mi'''chael Landes (hence the name of the company). They introduced themselves as "The dynamic, innovative producer/distributor (...) The fresh idea company for the 80's". Their ident appeared on some Almi productions prints for television in the early 1980s, and despite having a library of more than 500 films, most current prints of their previously distributed material is now controlled under several different companies. Le Canal+ (now [[StudioCanal (France)|StudioCanal]]) acquired and folded Almi in 1987. Video releases of ''After the Fall of New York'', ''BC Rock'', ''Superstition'', ''I Am the Cheese'', and ''Prime Risk'' had the standard [[Almi Pictures Productions|Almi Pictures]] logo. There is no information on the Web about Almi Television, but Almi Pictures and Almi Television were basically the same. Most of their catalog was released on video by Vestron Video and its offshoot Lightning Video, and later on by Palm Beach Entertainment and Empire Pictures (not to be confused with another well-known outfit of the same name) through First Run Features. | '''Almi Television Productions''' was a subsidiary of the Almi Group, formed in November 1978 by '''Al'''bert Schwartz and '''Mi'''chael Landes (hence the name of the company).
