Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterFilmmaker Peter Greenaway has unveiled the trailer for his next film, “Walking to Paris.”The biographical drama, Greenaway’s first feature since 2015’s romantic comedy “Eisenstein in Guanajuato,” centers on modernist Romanian artist Constantin Brancusi.

Set in the early 1900s, the story takes place when Brancusi was 27-year-old and follows his 18-month trek from Bucharest to Paris to reach the metropolis of world culture.

The first-look footage offers a glimpse at his voyage, complete with adventure and hardship, which served as a prelude of sorts to becoming a highly influential sculpture in the 20th century.

Brancusi’s vast oeuvre includes “The Kiss,” “Bird in Space” and “Sleeping Muse.” “Walking to Paris” is scheduled to release in theaters in late November 2022 after an effort to hit the festival circuit.New York-based film and media fund APX Capital Group is backing “Walking to Paris.” To support the premiere and fuse the worlds of visual and modern art, APX will mint several NFTs within the film’s universe, including new archival, cutting-room-floor footage and images of Brancusi’s art as represented in the movie.“We are wholly committed to helping filmmakers bring their vision to life on the big screen through our resources and access to our curated network of owned facilities” says Noam Baram, co-Chief executive officer and head of North American operations of APX.
