History
Fox Searchlight Pictures was founded in 1994 by Thomas Rothman.[4] From 1982 to 1985, prior to the creation of Searchlight, Fox previously released independent films and specialty releases under the banner of 20th Century-Fox International Classics, later renamed 20th Century-Fox Specialized Film Division, then TLC Films. The most notable of the releases under these banners include Bill Cosby: Himself, Eating Raoul, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Reuben, Reuben, and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.[5]
In 2006, a sub-label, Fox Atomic, was created to produce and/or distribute genre films.[6] Fox Atomic closed down in 2009.[7]
