MUMBAI: Lorber Films, the theatrical distribution arm of Kino Lorber has acquired the entire US rights of Erik Gandini‘s Videocracy.
The subject matter of the film is timely in the wake of the recent attack on Silvio Berlusconi as it explores the underbelly of Italy‘s media culture, a murky landscape in which the Italian prime minister is a major player.
Kino Lorber co-president Richard Lorber negotiated the Videocracy deal with TrustNordisk Films head of sales Susan Wendt.
The film will open at the IFC Center in New York on 12 February followed by a theatrical release across the US supported by High Five, the new funding programme of Nordisk Film & TV Fond.
