Raven Banner Entertainment specialty label has acquired all Canadian rights to the acclaimed black-and-white Colombian film that screens in Toronto.
Ciro Guerra’s feature is said to be the first to shoot in the Colombian Amazon in 30 years and charts the friendship between an Amazonian shaman and two scientists.
Embrace Of The Serpent earned the Art Cinema award at Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes and will play autumn festivals prior to an early 2016 theatrical release.
Northern Banner’s James Fler and Michael Paszt brokered the deal with Jean-Christophe Simon of Films Boutique in Toronto. Oscilloscope Laboratories recently acquired US rights.
