Also new on Wide's EFM slate is another Forum title, Summer Book from Turkish director Seyfi Teoman.
Both titles were acquired by Wide on the eve of the Berlin market. The French company is also selling a third Forum title, Ishtar Yasin's El Camino, as well as Panorama title Another Love Story by Lucia Murat.
Wide has been continuing to rack up sales on Her Name Is Sabine, the autobiographical documentary from Berlinale jury member Sandrine Bonnaire. The film has now gone to Eyz Media for German-speaking territories. The company has also closed a deal with Axiom for UK rights to Jean-Luc Magneron's Mai 68, la belle ouvrage. This documentary looks at the tumultuous events of May 1968 in France.
Last month, Wide Management took rights to Mahmoud Al Massad's Recycle,
which screened in Sundance and Rotterdam.
The company, which is now looking to move into production as well as sales, is also presenting Hormoz's I Dreamt Under The Water, an in-house production about a man's sexual odyssey through Paris, in the Berlin market.
