Totem Films Nabs World Sales Rights to Sofia Bohdanowicz’s ‘Measures for a Funeral,’ Releases Exclusive Clip Ahead of Toronto Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)
‘Measures’ follows graduate student Audrey as she traces the story of real-life pioneering Canadian violin prodigy Kathleen Parlow.
As part of today’s announcement, Totem has shared with Variety a first teaser for “Measures,” which stars Deragh Campbell as Audrey Benac — a “family detective” character she has played in previous Bohdanowicz films, including the feature “MS Slavic 7,” which premiered in Berlin in 2019 and also screened in Toronto. Another coup in the film is the return to the big screen — specifically its sound system — of celebrated Canadian singer Mary Margaret O’Hara (the beloved 1988 album Miss America) as the voice of Kathleen Parlow. The acquisition of “Measures” adds to Totem’s 2023 slate of film, which includes Mo Harawe’s Cannes premiere “The Village Next to Paradise,” Berlinale titles “My Favourite Cake” (directed by Maryam Moghaddam, Behtash Sanaeeha) and “Crossing” (Levan Akin), and Juho Kuosmanen’s “The Silent Trilogy.”
