Pop Aye (World Cinema Documentary Competition)
Kino Lorber has acquired the North American rights this elephant dramedy, which marks the debut feature for writer-director Kirsten Tan and the first film from a Singaporean director to land an opening night slot at Sundance. The film centers on a disenchanted architect who bumps into his long-lost elephant on the streets of Bangkok. Excited, he takes his elephant on a journey across Thailand, in search of the farm where they grew up together.
Kino Lorber plans to release the movie in North American theaters this summer, with a VOD and physical media release later in the year.
