Today’s acquisition announcement was made by IFC Films President Arianna Bocco. “We are honored to be working with Mia and Charles Gillibert and his team once again to bring this exceptional film to American audiences,” Bocco said. “With a brilliantly layered screenplay and an amazing cast, BERGMAN ISLAND is a major work from one of the most exciting auteurs working today.”
“At a time when there are many ways to distribute a movie, it is with confidence that we entrust BERGMAN ISLAND to IFC Films,” added Gillibert. “We know that Arianna Bocco and her team will bring it into the world with great creativity and care like they have with Mia’s other films.” The deal for the film was negotiated by Bocco, with Grégoire Melin at Kinology and UTA on behalf of the filmmakers.
