Barcelona Spain has a new long-feature sales agent, launching this weekend at San Sebastian with a highprofile Mexican title.
Freak, previously short-film specialist, has acquired international theatrical to Bernardo Arellano’s Entre la noche y el día. (Between Night and Day).
Night will have its international premiere on Saturday in San Sebastian’s Horizontes Latinos sidebar.Mexican first-timer Arellano took top honors at San Sebastian’s Films in Progress showcase last year.
Night turns on an autistic man flees his family and a dull and repressive life to live in the deep forest.
Set up in 2001, Freak sold worldwide the first shorts directors who have gone on to recognition as long-feature filmmakers, Eduardo Chapero-Jackson (Verbo, which world preems at San Sebastian), Daniel Sanchez Arevalo (Cousins), and Chus Gutierrez (Return to Hansala).
“We wanted to continue working with people rather than having just a passing relationship,”Freak CEO Vázquez told Variety.
Cela Ortega will serve as sales manager. Freak will be based on Caceres — for shorts — and in Madrid for long-features.
Freak slate will range from fiction to animation and docus. Pick-ups will be non-Spanish pics with “very special elements such as the narrative style of Vampyres.
Celia Novis’ docu, On Vampyres and Other Symptoms, is a second Freak acquisition.
It will play October’s Sitges Fantastic Film Festival.
“There’s a Freak brand,”said Vázquez, who expressed a strong interest in Asia. The aim is to increase Freak’s slate up to 10-15 acquisitions per year, explains Vázquez.
The new sales agency will attend the American Film Market and Amsterdam’s Independent Documentary Film Festival (IDFA).
