A day after the Toronto International Film Festival finalized its lineup, Global Screen, the new German distribution company, has announced that it has taken on sales duties for the festival documentary “Lunarcy!”
Global Screen will handle all territories, excluding Canada, on the film, which plays in the TIFF Docs section.
Directed by Simon Ennis, the feature-length documentary follows a disparate group of dreamers who have devoted their lives to the moon. The group includes an ex-ventriloquist who has earned a fortune selling lots on the moon, a former astronaut turned painter and a young man who runs a D.I.Y. space program.
