IFC Films has picked up North American rights to Spiros Stathoulopoulos' one-take thriller PVC-1, which premiered at Cannes last year.

Merida Urquia, Daniel Paez and Alberto Zornoza star in the story, which is inspired by the real-life terrorist incident in which a rural Colombian woman was killed by a collar bomb locked around her neck.

IFC's vice president of acquisitions and production Arianna Bocco negotiated the deal with Alexis Garcia of Endeavor Independent, which also represents Stathoulopoulos.

Ron Gell's G-Machine is handling international sales.
