EXCLUSIVE: Buoyed by a fresh North American deal for Sundance hit Morris From America, Ryan Kampe jets into Berlin with a bevy of buzzy festival titles set to receive their market premieres.
The slate includes Ramzi Ben Sliman’s French drama and Berlinale selection My Revolution, about a French-Tunisian teenager who unwittingly becomes a poster boy for the Arab Spring as he tries to win the heart of his love.
Samuel Vincent, Anamaria Vartolomei, Lucien Le Guern, Lubna Azabal, and Samir Guesmi star. Visit represents worldwide rights excluding France.
Rotterdam title Suntan from Argyris Papadimitropoulos is a dark ‘coming-of-middle-age’ drama that just premiered in Holland and stars Makis Papadimitriou as a lonely, middle-aged doctor of a tiny holiday island who become obsessed with a young tourist.
Elli Tringou, Milou Van Groessen, Dimi Hart, Hara Kotsali, and Marcus Collen also star. Odeon will distribute in Greece and Cyprus.
Visit’s slate comprises several Sundance titles led by Morris From America, Chad Hartigan’s fish-out-of-water comedy that premiered in US Dramatic Competition and was snapped up in the US by A24/DirecTV for a little over $1m.

The sales agent holds worldwide rights excluding Argentina and Latin American pay TV for Ana Katz’s My Friend From The Park.
Julieta Zylberberg from Argentinian smash Wild Tales plays a lonely young mother who becomes friends with a disreputable young woman. The film won the Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Screenwriting for Katz and Inés Bortagaray.
Visit will be touting international rights to Bernardo Britto’s NEXT selection Jacqueline (Argentine), a mockumentary about a filmmaker hired to document a French woman’s self-imposed exile.
