As well as having one title in the Cannes Official Selection, the German sales agent will also showcase upcoming and previously premiered films to market professionals. With one title in the Cannes Official Selection, and eight more available for professionals attending the market, Berlin-based international sales agent Films Boutique is gearing up for the upcoming Marché du Film Online, running from 22-26 June. As was recently announced, Films Boutique has acquired the rights to Dani Rosenberg’s feature debut, The Death of Cinema and My Father Too, which is one of the Cannes Official Selection titles and will unspool at the Marché du Film. Co-penned by the Israeli director and Itay Kohay, the film narrates the story of a father who, fearing an Iranian attack on Tel Aviv, seeks shelter in Jerusalem, and his filmmaker son, who wants to give his dad a role in his upcoming film. The movie teeters.
Berlin-based Films Boutique (“There is No Evil”) has acquired world sales to Dani Rosenberg’s feature debut “The Death of Cinema And My Father Too,” which is part of the Cannes 2020 Official Selection.
“The Death of Cinema And My Father Too,” set to have its market premiere in the Cannes Virtual Market, was described by the festival’s artistic director Thierry Fremaux as a “strong take” and “somewhere between a creative documentary and fiction film.”
Penned by Rosenberg and Itay Kohay, the movie tells the story of Yoel, who hears about an imminent Iranian military attack on Tel Aviv and sets off to escape with his family to a safe haven in Jerusalem. His son Assaf, who is a filmmaker and about to become a father himself, wants to give Yoel one last lead role in his movie by weaving the fictional world into bittersweet reality.
