EXCLUSIVE: Film shot in Oslo in September is due to be delivered this spring.
Paris-based sales company Memento Films International has unveiled first sales on Norwegian director Joachim Trier’s upcoming supernatural thriller Thelma.
It has sold to Italy (Teodora), Benelux (Imagine), Baltics (Scanorama), Portugal (Alambique), Greece (Seven), Turkey (Bir Film), Poland (Gutek), ex-Yugoslavia (MCF Megacom), Hungary (Vertigo), Czech Republic and Slovakia (Aerofilms), Romania (Macondo), Taiwan (Maison Motion) and Japan (Gaga).
