Kino Lorber Takes ‘Mondocane’ for North America
New York specialty distributor Kino Lorber has picked up all rights in North America to Mondocane, Italian dystopian sci-fi thriller from first-time director Alessandro Celli.
“Alessandro Celli’s debut feature combines two of Kino Lorber’s greatest passions: championing new cinematic voices and finding high-end genre titles for our Kino Cult AVOD channel and home video audiences,” said Kino Lorber senior vp Wendy Lidell, who negotiated the deal for the film with Monica Ciarli, head of the international office as sales group Minerva Pictures. “Mondocane’s mix of genre tropes, eye-popping cinematography and art direction, as well as outstanding performances by two young actors, will appeal to a wide range of audiences.”
