‘Nothing Lasts Forever’

Dogwoof is to handle international sales on Jason Kohn’s documentary Nothing Lasts Forever, which received its world premiere at the Berlinale last week.

The London-based documentary specialist will present the feature to buyers at MipTV in April, after securing a deal with premium US cable network Showtime, which holds worldwide rights and will broadcast the film in the US and Canada. A North America premiere is set to take place at SXSW in March.

Filmed over a decade, Kohn infiltrated the secretive diamond industry to uncover a black market in synthetic diamonds, which it claims could threaten the value of every legitimate diamond.

It marks the third feature documentary of US filmmaker Kohn, whose debut Manda Bala (Send a Bullet) won the grand jury prize for documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007.

Nothing Lasts Forever is produced by Kohn’s own Kilo Films for Showtime. Producers are Amanda Branson Gill, Jared Goldman and Kohn. Executive producer is Vinnie Malhotra for Showtime and co-producers are Kimberley Hassett, Jonathan Gribetz, Heloisa Passos.
