KimStim, a Brooklyn based arthouse distributor, has secured the North American rights to Berlin Film Festival award-winning film, An Elephant Sitting Still, from director Hu Bo. Set in a mid-sized Chinese city over the course of single day, the film follows four characters trying to escape from their problematic small-town life of economic depression and social malaise. In the end, they decide to escape to the city of Manzhouli, where they hope to see an elephant that simply sits, unfazed and impervious to the world. The pic not only marked Bo’s directorial debut but it was also his final piece as the filmmaker and author took his own life at age 29. KimStim is planning to release the film in theaters this Fall. KimStim’s Ian Stimler negotiated the deal with Rediance’s Founder and CEO Meng Xie.
