Documentary specialist Icarus Films have grabbed the rights to Patricio Guzmán‘s latest – a Cannes preemed documentary film, that is heading to TIFF next week and will be set up with a 2011 theatrical release.
Nostalgia for the Light tells two parallel stories. One concerns astronomers planted in Chile’s Atacama Desert, peering deep into the cosmos in search of answers concerning the origins of life. The other follows a group of women in Chile who sift through the sand searching for body parts of loved ones, dumped by dictator Augusto Pinochet’s regime.
