Venice Title ‘Harvest,’ Starring Caleb Landry Jones, Acquired by Mubi
“Harvest,” directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari (“Attenberg,” “Chevalier”) and starring Caleb Landry Jones, has been acquired by Mubi in several key territories ahead of its premiere in competition at Venice Film Festival.
Mubi will distribute the film in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux and Latin America with release plans to be announced in the coming months.
Based on Jim Crace’s Booker prize shortlisted novel of the same name, “Harvest” takes place “over seven hallucinatory days” when a “village with no name, in an undefined time and place, disappears,” according to its official synopsis. “Townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord of the manor Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity.”
Along with Landry Jones — who broke out in Martin McDonagh’s “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and won the Cannes best actor award for his performance in 2021’s “Nitram” — “Harvest” stars Harry Melling (“The Tragedy of Macbeth,” “The Queen’s Gambit”), Rosy McEwen (“Blue Jean,” “The Alienist”), Arinzé Kene (“Ear for Eye,” “I’m Your Woman”), Thalissa Teixeira (“Alice & Jack,” “Two Weeks to Live”) and Frank Dillane (“Renegade Nell,” “The Essex Serpent”).
Producers include Tsangari, Marie-Elena Dyche, Rebecca O’Brien for Sixteen Films, Joslyn Barnes for Louverture Films and Michael Weber and Viola Fügen for The Match Factory. “Harvest” is a co-production with Haos Film and Faliro House Productions, Why Not Productions and in association with Meraki Films and Roag Films.
The film was financed by BBC Film, Screen Scotland and Ashland Hill Media Finance in the U.K.; Bayerischer Rundfunk ARTE and Film under Medienstiftung NRW in Germany; the National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication EKOME and the Greek Film Centre in Greece; Arte France and Arte France Cinéma, the Artemis Rising Foundation and In Bloom.
The Match Factory is handling international sales on “Harvest.”
