Uruguay’s Coral Cine is closing Spanish distribution rights with Barcelona-based A Contracorriente Films for its documentary “Benedetti, 60 Años con Luz,” which chronicles the 60-year love story of renowned Uruguayan author-poet Mario Benedetti and his wife Luz López Alegre, helmed by Coral Cine’s Andres Varela and shot by Oscar-nominated DoP Cesar Charlone (“City of God”).
Charlone is the sole juror of the ongoing 2nd Arca International Festival of Films on Art (Jan. 2-7).
Mexico’s Vendo Cine is snagging Mexican rights while Buenos Aires and L.A.-based international sales company Punctum, which focuses exclusively on Latin American documentaries, has grabbed worldwide sales rights.
A Contracorriente first eyed the doc at the Iberseries & Platino Iberoamerican film-tv event last September in Madrid. Doc has since opened in Uruguay where it played for an unprecedented 12 weeks, said Varela.
In other exclusive news, Fernando Meirelles’ O2 Filmes has boarded Coral Cine...
