‘The Chronicles of Libidoists,’ Modern Sex Tale, Set at Distribution Workshop — EFM (EXCLUSIVE)


'The Chronicles of Libidoists,’ a modern-day sex tale from Taiwan, will launch at Berlin's EFM through Distribution Workshop.

“The cast has been kept confidential — even in Taiwan — given the nature of the film,” Distribution Workshop co-founder Jeffrey Chan told Variety. “Libidoists” is the first project produced and funded by 16cc Company Ltd., a new production joint-venture between Chan (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “Ad Astra,” “Midway”) and Atom Cinema, which was co-founded by acclaimed Taiwanese producer Liu Wei-jan (“Coo-coo 043,” ”The Bold, the Corrupt and the Beautiful”) and renowned film veteran Chen Kuo-fu (“The Yinyang Master,” the “Detective D” trilogy, “Double Vision,” “The Personals”). Distribution Workshop is also handling rights sales at the EFM on “The Legend,” an action-adventure title reuniting the previously successful pairing of Jackie Chan and director Stanley Tong that is now in post-production; 2023 mainland Chinese action drama “Seven Killings,” directed by Gao Qunshu (“Old Fish”) and starring Zhang Yi; and Wong Po-ching’s crime drama “The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon,” which last year won the best action choreography prize at the Golden Horse Film Awards.
