Artsploitation Films is pleased to announce the acquisitions of new Spanish film ANIMALS. The film was acquired at the Ventana Sur Film Market in Buenos Aires in November 2012 and the deal was finalized at the recently concluded Berlin International Film Festival in February 2013. Ray Murray, President of Artsploitation Films said about the film: “ANIMALS is an intoxicating blend of genre and a coming-of-age film. It explores that exciting but troubling moment when sexuality enters into a youth’s world.” ANIMALS marks director Marçal Forés first feature film and it sits halfway between the children’s universe of imagination and the adult world of reason and the discovery of sexual drive. It was a much buzzed about film at the prestigious Sitges International Film Festival where it received an Official Gala screening. Variety’s Jonathan Holland called it a “stylishly wrought” film that “shuttles between fantasy and realism a la "Donnie Darko.”
Artsploitation is planning further film festival runs for ANIMALS this summer and fall with a 4th quarter release expected. The deal includes all rights: Theatrical, TV, VOD, Digital & DVD for North America and the UK. The deal was negotiated by Raymond Murray and Barcelona-based Film Factory Entertainment’s Managing Director Vicente Canales.
