The Tree finds US distributor
The France/Australia co-production The Tree has been acquired by Zeitgeist Films in the US, for release in New York and Los Angeles during the northern hemisphere summer.
“Charlotte Gainsbourg and Julie Bertucelli have large and loyal followings in the US and Zeitgeist is the perfect distributor to look after this film. We’ve now sold to over 30 countries, right across Europe, South America, Asia and the Middle East, so it’s great to add the US to the list. We’ll start with seasons in Los Angeles and New York and then expand the release across the country,” said producer Sue Taylor.The distributor also released director Julie Bertucelli’s debut Since Otar Left.
The Tree was released in France and Australia last year. It was nominated for seven AFI Awards, and it is currently nominated for three César Awards in France, for Best Actress (Charlotte Gainsbourg), Best Adapted Screenplay (Bertucelli) and Best Original Music (Gregoire Hetzel).
The film will be released on DVD on March 3.
