Sundance focused attention almost exclusively on new American independent features and documentaries, but what about the rest of the world? Film Movement is doing their part, acquiring Us rights to Carlos Sorin's Argentine drama The Window and planning a May 2009 theatrical release, according to indieWIRE.
That sounds like a good counter-programming move. Film Movement is a small distributor of independent and foreign films and knows how to nurture their acquisitions. And even if The Window doesn't play theatrically beyond a few big cities, this deal will assure that it will be available on DVD this year, which is good news for fans of director Sorin. He previously made dramas such as Historias Minimas ("absorbing, undemanding," per Jeffrey M. Anderson) and Bombón: El Perro ("an unashamed crowdpleaser," per Neil Young), and The Window sounds like it's in a similar vein. Take a look at the trailer, embedded above, which reveals...

- I've only recently discovered Argentinean director Carlos Sorín via El Perro –- his road movie/tale of a pooch who didn't listen to his master (sounds like a Hollywood holiday movie for some reason) made the film festival circuit rounds. I'm sure the folks at Film Movement thought highly of that picture, but today's pick-up means they think highly of the filmmaker. Today, the NY-based indie distributor picked up the North American film rights to the The Window – with plans to open the picture in May. It is a significant day for 80 year old Antonio. After an absence of many years, his estranged son is coming to visit. All must be perfect. There will be a toast with very special champagne; an embrace; warm words that will maybe finally bridge the gap between them… But before, Antonio must wait. Bedridden, he looks out his window overlooking thee endless Patagonian
