ROME -- Seven films, including Warner Bros. Pictures' Batman Begins, will make their European bows at the 51st Taormina Film Festival, which kicks off Saturday in Sicily and runs through June 18. Six other features set for either their European or world premieres in Taormina's Ancient Theater were announced Monday night at a news conference in Rome. The premieres include Do You Like Hitchcock? by Dario Argento, Le Couperet by Costa-Gavras, Schatten Der Zeit by German director Florian Gallenberger, The Shadow Dancer by Brad Mirman, Incautos by Spanish director Miguel Bardem, The Games of Their Lives by American director David Anspaugh and a documentary about Italian screenwriter Sergio Amidei by Italian directors Ettore and Silvia Scola.
MADRID -- Spain's Alquimia production house said Thursday that it has signed a five-picture deal with international sales agent Latido to handle worldwide rights on its 2004 slate and part of its 2005 slate. Latido, also known as Latin Beat, will handle sales outside of co-producing territories on Incautos, Condon Express, El Metodo Gronholm, Vidas Pequenas and Tu Vida en '65. "It is important to have a single shop handle all of my movies so that I can focus on marketing and promoting them," Alquimia CEO Francisco Ramos said in an interview. "It's much better than finding a sales agent each time I finish a movie and closing a deal." Incautos is finished, so screenings will start immediately, but Condon Express and El Metodo Gronholm are in postproduction and will make their market debuts with promos at the Berlin International Film Festival.
