Specialist sales agency Good Move Media has picked up international rights to “Ancient Soul,” which had its world premiere in March at the Berlin Film Festival.
The film, aka “Mbah Jhiwo,” is a Spanish-produced docu-drama about life in the Sulphur mines of Java, Indonesia. It was directed by Alvarro Guerra and will next play at the DocumentaMadrid festival.
More from Variety
Pitched as ethno-fiction, the film follows a man who hand carries huge rocks of Sulphur from the mine, sees his routine radically altered the moment his wife goes away. Trapped like Sisyphus into an eternal return, the man will face similar events that mutate in appearance as his beliefs move from animism, to Islam and capitalism. An ethno-fiction that explores otherness and questions the myth of progress in the neocolonial reality of the South Seas.
