Bruce LaBruce’s Bold Film ‘The Visitor’ Acquired by Utopia Label Circle Collective for U.S., U.K. (EXCLUSIVE)
Utopia's label Circle Collective has bought Bruce LaBruce's bold and thought-provoking film 'The Visitor' for North America and the U.K.
A London-set reimagining of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 film “Teorema,” “The Visitor” stars the well-known performance artist Bishop Black as a refugee who emerges naked from a mysterious suitcase on the banks of the Thames. The filmmaker added that he also aimed at “grounding it in a the larger sociopolitical context of the rise of the extreme right in the U.K. and Europe with its attendant racist policies and strategies of vilifying, demeaning and sexualizing ‘the other. This deal was negotiated by Candace Tan for Circle Collective with Best Friend Forever co-founders Charles Bin and Martin Gondre on behalf of the filmmakers.
