Danish international sales and aggregation outfit LevelK has boarded the thought-provoking drama “Great Yarmouth: Provisional Figures” by award-winning Portuguese director Marco Martins, which world premieres in main competition at next month’s San Sebastian Film Festival.
Hailed by Variety as “a powerful study of intense grief,” Martin’s debut feature, “Alice,” won the Prix Regards Jeune at Cannes in 2005.
The story unravels three months before Brexit, as hundreds of migrants descend on the UK village of Great Yarmouth seeking work in the region’s turkey processing plants. Once there, Tânia greets them with matronly authority, taking charge as innkeeper, accountant, and fixer. As she’s forced to deceive them, her conscience grows heavy and she dreams of a brighter, seemingly unattainable, future transforming derelict hotels into modern retreats for elderly tourists.
Tânia’s struggle unfolds with dim and hazy shots that add a raw and unnerving aesthetic to the film,...

Thailand’s arthouse films, frequently employing stellar craft in service of slow cinema, often struggle to achieve meaningful theatrical releases in a home market that is driven by the young multiplex crowd. But Thai cultural films are earning growing attention on the festival and international specialty circuits.
After Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s big-screen return to Cannes this year with “Memoria” and Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s Locarno-winning “A Useful Ghost,” the Venice Film Festival finds room for “Anatomy of Time,” the sophomore work of Jakrawal Nilthamrong, in its Horizons section.
In 2015, Nilthamrong’s “Vanishing Point” won the Tiger Award for best film at the Rotterdam Festival.
His new work charts two fragments in a woman’s life. In the 1960s countryside, against the background of tensions between the military dictatorship and Communist rebels, a young woman is imbued with the philosophies of her clocksmith father. Her romance with a rickshaw driver is shoved...

French distributor Damned Films has closed a deal with sales outfit Dreamlab films for “Invasion,” director Shahram Mokri’s Iranian film “Careless Crime” that will have its world premiere Tuesday at the Venice Film Festival’s Horizons section.
Damned will distribute in France, overseas territories administered by France, Monaco and Andorra.
Set 40 years ago, during the uprising to overthrow the Shah’s regime in Iran, the film follows protestors who set fire to movie theaters as a way of showing opposition to Western culture. In one tragic case, a theater was set on fire with 400 people inside, most of whom were burned alive. Forty years hence, in contemporary Iran, four individuals also decide to burn a cinema down. Their intended target is a theater showing a film about an unearthed, unexploded missile.
