The London-based sales and production outfit has secured the international sales rights to Russian drama “Medea.” Reason 8 will be on the ground in Switzerland ahead of the film’s premiere on Aug. 9, looking to drum up interest for the feature which hails from “Target” directorThe film incorporates elements of the titular mythical Greek figure, centering around a woman who commits a grave crime for the sake of her future with the father of her two children.
“We were immediately impressed by the emotional electricity of Aleksandr’s film which will no doubt resonate with international audienceS and are looking forward to working on its global marketing and distribution strategy,” said Denis Krupnov, co-founder and co-managing director at Reason 8. According to Zeldovich, “Medea” transfers the Pagan myth of Circe’s niece to the Holy Land in an attempt to “at once acknowledge its original theme of emigration” and to add “intensity and dynamism to the narrative.”“I’m happy that ‘Medea’ will have its world premiere and meet its first audience in Locarno next month. The film is starting its journey to the audience and I’m glad to be in partnership with Reason 8 who will lead the way,” Zeldovich said of the deal.
“Medea” also stars Russian actor Evgeny Tsyganov, whose previous credits include the Oscar-nominated “Mermaid” and 2018 Venice entry “The Man Who Surprised Everyone.”
