The director of the Cannes Un Certain Regard opener has reunited with The Party Film Sales and Compass Films for ‘O.’
The Icelandic film “When the Light Breaks” is due to open Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section May 15.Headlining Iceland’s major international star Ingvar E. Sigurðsson (“A White, White Day,” “Fantastic Beasts, the Crimes of Grindelwald”), the 20-minute film “O” is a “humanistic and poetic story of a fragile man, trying to achieve a simple task where his main obstacle is within himself,” according to the official logline. We’re confident distributors will be interested in programming both films in tandem: in the frame of special screenings, TV and platforms runs, or even for traditional theatrical exhibition,” he said. Filmed in Iceland last summer, and reuniting some heads of department of “When the Light Breaks” – DP Sophia Olsson and set designer Hulda Helgadóttir – ‘O’ is currently in post-production.
