Heretic has closed a raft of deals on Sundance prize-winning documentary “And the King Said, What a Fantastic Machine,” with Picturehouse Entertainment acquiring U.K. rights ahead of the film’…
The Athens-based outfit also closed deals for Italy , Benelux, , Poland and Czech Republic, where the rights were sold to arthouse distributor Aerofilms and the newly launched streaming platform KVIFF.TV, both part of the KVIFF Group, a media conglomerate built around the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. It’s the first title acquired under the new partnership.
The debut feature from directors Axel Danielson and Maximilien Van Aertryck, whose 2016 short “Ten Meter Tower” was in competition at Sundance and Berlin, “Fantastic Machine” is a thought-provoking examination of humanity’s infatuation with itself, and with framing the world through the camera’s lens.
“We are so excited to be working on this film. It is such a thrilling ride, which as well as being incredibly exciting throws up lots of important questions about where we have come from with our consumption of images and where we are now,” said Picturehouse Entertainment’s Clare Binns.
“Fantastic Machine” is produced by Plattform Produktion and co-produced with SVT, , Film i Väst and Bullitt Film , along with the support of Svenska Filminstitutet, Danish Film Institute, Nordisk Film & TV Fond, Arte G.E.I.E., Swedish Arts Council, Göteborg Municipality and See-Through Films.
