The Cinema Guild Acquires Locarno Winner What Now? Remind Me
Posted December 18, 2013 01:39 PM by
The Cinema Guild announced today the acquisition of all U.S. distribution rights to Joaquim Pinto’s mesmerizing, deeply moving documentary What Now? Remind Me. The film received the Jury Prize as well as the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2013 Locarno Film Festival and was an official selection of the 2013 New York Film Festival. What Now? Remind Me will open theatrically in 2014.
Filmmaker Joaquim Pinto has been living with HIV and hepatitis C for the past twenty years. What Now? Remind Me chronicles one year of clinical studies with toxic, mind-altering drugs that have yet to be approved. Beautiful, generous and deeply poetic, the film is a reflection on cinema, time, memory, and the enduring power of love and friendship.
“Having worked as a producer and sound engineer for the likes of Raul Ruiz, Manoel de Oliveira, João César Monteiro and André Techiné, Joaquim Pinto demonstrates his own mastery as a filmmaker with What Now? Remind Me, a brilliant, expansive first-person documentary on art, love, and above all, survival,” commented Ryan Krivoshey. “This is a truly unique and special film and we are excited to be working with Joaquim and Joana on its release.”
The deal was negotiated by Ryan Krivoshey of The Cinema Guild with producer Joana Ferreira of C.R.I.M.
The Cinema Guild is a distributor of independent, foreign and documentary films whose recent releases include Dominique Benicheti’s Cousin Jules, Joao Pedro Rodrigues and Joao Rui Guerra da Mata’s The Last Time I Saw Macao, Jem Cohen’s Museum Hours and Matias Piñeiro’s Viola.
Upcoming theatrical releases include Lav Diaz’ Norte, The End of History, Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez’s Manakamana and Corneliu Porumboiu’s When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism.
