Sundance winner snapped up at Berlin’s European Film Market (EFM).
Stockholm-based Edge Entertainment has returned from EFM with a new acquisition, Crystal Moselle’s The Wolfpack.
Edge has taken rights to the docu-drama for Scandinavia, Iceland and the Baltics, sold by Magnolia Pictures International.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize in the US Documentary Section at the Sundance Film Festival last month.
The Wolfpack centres on the Angulo brothers, locked away from society in a New York apartment, who learn about the outside world through the films that they watch.
Nicknamed ‘The Wolfpack’, they spend their childhood reenacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes, but find their world shaken when one of the brothers escapes.
Also from EFM, Edge acquired Laurent Cantet’s Return to Ithaca from Funny Ballons for the Scandinavian and Icelandic market; and Carlos Marques-Marcet’s 10,000km from Visit Film, a film that recently received a Spanish Goya award for Best New Director.
