Canada’s Sphere Films and A24 have signed a multi-film theatrical output deal that kicks off with TIFF entry Aftersun.
Besides Charlotte Well’s Cannes breakout Aftersun which screens in Contemporary World Cinema, the pact includes Ari Aster’s Disappointment Blvd. starring Joaquin Phoenix.
The deal comes hot on the heels of ambitious Sphere Films’ recent acquisition of MK2|Mile End.
“Sphere Films and A24 share a deep appreciation of innovative storytelling and original filmmaking, which makes this partnership an especially exciting one,” said Charles Tremblay, president of Sphere Films. “We are delighted to be in business with A24 and look forward to bringing these wonderful films to audiences across Canada.”
The list of titles includes: Daina O. Pusic’s directorial debut Tuesday starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus; Funny Pages by Owen Kline; Kelly Reichardt’s Showing Up starring Michelle Williams; Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut When You Finish Saving The World with Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard.
Rounding out the initial roster are Claire Denis’ Stars At Noon and Lukas Dhont’s Close, both of which won the Grand Prix after recently competing in Official Competition in Cannes, and God’s Creatures from directing duo Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer and starring Emily Watson and Paul Mescal.
