Alonso Ruizpalacios’ Güeros premiered in Berlin last year. Separately, IFC Midnight has taken tonight’s Tribeca world premiere Stung off the table.
Mexican writer-director Alonso Ruizpalacios’ feature debut Güeros will open on May 20 in New York prior to a theatrical roll-out in select markets throughout the summer.
Digital and home media release are scheduled for later in the year on the Berlin 2014 best first feature award-winner and the recipient of 12 Mexican Ariel Award nominations.
Güeros is a road movie about two students and a younger brother who set off during the year-long university strike in 1999 to find a Mexican folk hero.
Kino Lorber CEO Richard Lorber brokered the deal with Mundial vice-president Cristina Garza.
