‘Fire In The Mountains’

Kino Lorber has acquired US rights from Dialectic to Ajitpal Singh’s debut feature feminist story Fire In The Mountains.

The film centres on a mother who works hard to save money to build a road in a Himalayan village to take her wheelchair-bound son for physiotherapy. Meanwhile her husband, who believes a shamanic ritual is the remedy, steals her savings.

Fire In The Mountains premiered in World Dramatic Competition at Sundance 2021 and will open at Film Forum in New York this spring and open in US and Canadian cinemas, followed by major digital platforms and home video.

Kino Lorber SVP Wendy Lidell brokered the deal with Shrihari Sathe of the film’s sales representative Dialectic.
