deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Filmax has acquired international rights to the European road movie Birds Flying East, starring Teresa Saponangelo (The Hand Of God), Luis Zahera (The Beasts), and Javier Gutierrez (The Motive).
The Spanish-based company will present first-look images from the pic this week at the Cannes Market. Directed by actor and filmmaker Pau Durà (Formentera Lady), the pic is produced by David Ciurana of Fosca Films (Formentera Lady), José Nolla of Icónica Producciones (The Motive), and Cristina Zumárraga of Tandem Films (Rosa’s Wedding) for Birds Film and AIE, in coproduction with Romanian producers, MPM Motion Pictures Management.
The project has also received support from ICAA RTVE, Prime Video, and TV3. Billed as a “comedy-drama,” the pic tells the story of the trans-European road trip embarked on by two men who travel from Valencia, Spain, to the delta of the Danube in Romania in search of times passed.
