Peccadillo Pictures has acquired UK rights to Małgośka Szumowska’s In The Name Of (W Imie).

Szumowska’s Berlin Competition title and Teddy Award winner follows a Catholic priest who works with troubled teenagers in a rural village in Poland, who is forced to confront a long forgotten burden and passion about his own sexuality.

Peccadillo chairman Tom Abell commented: “We’re delighted to add In The Name Of to our growing world cinema and European film slate. This year’s EFM proved colourful for LGBT films with diverse themes and we are looking forward to bringing these titles to UK audiences in 2013 across cinemas, DVD and VoD”.
