New distributor Conic has acquired all UK-Ireland rights to Bifa-longlisted documentary Electric Malady.
Conic will release Electric Malady theatrically in February 2023.
It is a first acquisition of a Scottish title for Glasgow-based Conic. The company officially launched last month and has already acquired Sundance winners Utama and Leonor Will Never Die.
Directed by Swedish-born, Glasgow-based artist and filmmaker Marie Liden in her feature debut, Electric Malady portrays the life of a man living with an allergy to electronics, who is forced to retreat from society and live in isolation.
The film debuted in competition at CPH:DOX in March, going on to play Sheffield DocFest and Edinburgh Film Festival.
It has been longlisted for three Bifas – best feature documentary, best debut director – feature documentary for Liden, and the Raindance discovery award.
Conic acquired the rights from producer Aimara Reques of Glasgow’s Aconite Productions.
