Sales News

Japanese sales company Free Stone Productions フリーストーン・プロダクション has sold SHINDO Kaneto 新藤兼人's anti-war drama Postcard 一枚のハガキ (2010) to Sundream Motion Pictures Ltd 驕陽電影有限公司 in Hong Kong.

The film, which won the special jury prize at the Tokyo International Film Festival 東京国際映画祭 in 2010, was Japan's submission to the Academy Awards' foreign language category last year. It opened in Japan on 6 Aug 2011.

Sundream expect to open the film theatrically in late June. Free Stone, who picked up the title just before Hong Kong FilMart, are also in talks with distributors in Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.

Shindo, who will be 100-years-old next month, is one of the world's longest working film directors. He began his career in the 1940s as a scriptwriter for MIZOGUCHI Kenji 溝口健二, YOSHIMURA Kozaburo 吉村公三郎 and KINOSHITA Keisuke 木下恵介.

At Hong Kong FilMart, Free Stone is also representing TAKEKIYO Hitoshi 竹清仁's animation After School Midnighters 放課後ミッドナイト on behalf of T-Joy Co Ltd ティ・ジョイ as part of a new partnership on international sales.
