SPC laps up US distribution of Another Year

(19 May 2010 2:00 pm)


MUMBAI: The Cannes Film Festival is well-known to be a place where films are sold and acquired. It is here that Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the US distribution rights of Mike Leigh's Another Year.

Incidentally, the film has been among the festival's most favoured films and has been attracting a lot of praise. Another Year centers on a happily married couple, some troubled friends and the nuanced emotions of aging.
Though details of SPC's distribution plans are unavailable, it is being said that the distribution house will have the film lined up for the Oscars next year.

SPC specialises in foreign-produced films and handled last year's Oscar winner in the foreign-language category, The Secret in Their Eyes.
