Grasshopper Film Acquires Jem Cohen’s Cosmic ‘Little, Big, And Far’ On Eve Of World Premiere At New York Film Festival


Jem Cohen's film 'Little, Big, and Far' has been acquired by Grasshopper Film ahead of its world premiere at the New York Film Festival.

“The principal subject of Cohen’s film is an Austrian astronomer named Karl who has been re-evaluating his work and life after turning 70, and who travels to a mountaintop on a Greek island in search of the darkest sky against which to view the cosmos. Yet the real matter of the singular Little, Big, and Far —whose title refers to the three concepts Karl and his physicist wife believe are at the core of their work—is as vast as the universe itself, a reckoning with scientific truth at a moment of humanity’s existential crisis.” Previous releases included Kleber Mendonca Filho’s Pictures of Ghosts, Albert Serra’s Pacifiction, Alain Gomis’ Rewind and Play, Verena Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor’s De Humani Corporis Fabrica and Leviathan, Brett Story’s The Hottest August, and Feras Fayyad’s Academy Award nominated Last Men In Aleppo.
