Sony Pictures Classics has acquired North America, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Scandinavia, South Africa and India rights to Victor Kossakovsky’s Aquarela, a documentary that had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The deal reunites Spc and producer Participant Media, which teamed on last year’s Foreign Language Oscar winner A Fantastic Woman.
Kossakovsky’s pic, filmed at 96 frames per second, takes audiences on a cinematic journey through the transformative beauty and raw power of water — a wake-up call that humans are no match for the sheer force of Earth’s most precious element. A 2019 theatrical release is planned.
The UK-Germany-Denmark production is produced by Aimara Reques, Heino Deckert and Sigrid Dyekjær and co-produced by Joslyn Barnes, Susan Rockefeller, Emile Hertling Péronard.
