Sales outfit has also acquired Spanish drama and Iffr Tiger contender Sister Of Mine ahead of the Efm.
Paris-based International sales outfit Stray Dogs is ramping up its slate ahead of next month’s European Film Market in Berlin (Feb 9-17).
The company, founded by Nathan Fischer in 2015, has confirmed two new pick-ups at International Film Festival Rotterdam.
Among the most striking acquisitions is Mansfield 66/67, the experimental feature documentary about the last two years in the life of screen siren and Hollywood sex symbol, Jayne Mansfield.
In the film, which features cult director Kenneth Anger and actress Tippi Hedren, Mansfield is portrayed by Ann Magnuson. It combines archive footage and interviews blended with experimental dance numbers and animations.
Tood Hughes and P. David Ebersole directed the documentary, which premieres in Rotterdam today (Jan 28).
2017 marks the 50th anniversary of Mansfield’s death in a car crash.

It was just like week that we shared the first trailer for Karl Lemieux's feature film Maudite Poutine (Shambles) with you all. Lemieux made his first big splash internationally as the visual component of hugely acclaimed Montreal based musical act Godspeed You Black Emperor and given the general response to his feature it would appear very much that Lemieux has emerged as a force to be taken on purely his own terms. Caught stealing drugs from the wrong people, 27 year old Vincent is in trouble and on the run from the local mob.
