EXCLUSIVE: Chinese director Bi Gan’s fantasy epic Resurrection has sold widely for Les Films du Losange following its world premiere in Cannes’ competition on May 22.
The film has sold to I Wonder in Italy, Plaion Pictures for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Madfer Films and Filmin in Spain, Leopardo Filmes in Portugal, Weird Wave in Greece, New Horizons in Poland, Green Narae Media in South Korea, Kino Pavasaris in the Baltics and MCF in former Yugoslavia. Negotiations are underway in the US, Japan, Latin America and Australia and New Zealand.
The behind schedule entry to this year’s competition lineup and one of the last films to screen before Saturday’s closing -night prize ceremony stars Jackson Yee and Shu Qi in a story set in a world where humanity has lost the ability to dream as some opt to rebel by living only in a dream world.
The film centres on a woman who follows a monstruous creature into this dream world to uncover the truth hidden within.
It is produced by China’s Huace Pictures and Dangmai Films with France’s CG Cinema.
