Jason Hellerstein’s arthouse champion 1-2 Special has acquired all North American rights to Sandra Wollner’s Cannes Un Certain Regard Prize winner Everytime.
Wollner’s third feature centres on a mother, young daughter, and teenage boy who, united by tragedy, embark on a trip to the Canary Islands for a family holiday that never happened. Under the glow of the coastal sun, past and present begin to quietly overlap. Birgit Minichmayr stars.
Lixi Frank and David Bohun of Panama Film produced alongside Viktoria Stolpe of The Barricades. 1-2 Special negotiated the deal with Charades on behalf of the filmmakers.
Wollner’s debut feature The Impossible Picture was named best film by the German Film Critics Association Award and earned the Ingmar Bergman International Debut Award at the Göteborg Film Festival. Her second feature, The Trouble With Being Born, premiered at the 2020 Berlinale where it won the Special Jury Prize in Encounters.
