Fandango Portobello shakes Salt Of Life for more deals

Fandango Portobello has sold Gianni Di Gregorio’s sophomore comedy The Salt Of Life to a further ten territories, having pre-sold the film to France (Pyramide Distribution), Benelux (ABC-Cinemien) and Switzerland (Xenix) prior to the EFM.

The company closed EFM deals after the film’s international premiere in Berlin, including Germany/Austria (Neue Visionen), UK (Artificial Eye), Spain (Golem), Former Yugoslavia (Demiurg), Hungary (Cirko Films), Portugal (Midas Filmes), Greece (Filmtrade), Australia (Rialto Distribution), Romania (Transilvania Film) and Israel (Orlando Films). 

A North American sale and other deals are currently under negotiation.

“We knew Salt would find its audience after the runaway international success of Mid-August Lunch”, says Janine Gold, Head of Sales and Distribution for Fandango Portobello, “but the interest at the EFM was even stronger than we expected.”
