French production partner Sacrebleu has debuted a new trailer for Flow, the critically acclaimed new feature film from Latvian auteur Gints Zilbalodis (Away). The new spot highlights the dreamy, surreal animated world where we find our animal protagonists struggling to survive, as well as their innocent antics.
Following its Cannes Un Certain Regard official selection premiere and awards sweep at Annecy, the film will have its theatrical release in France on October 30. Sideshow & Janus Films have acquired North American rights.
Synopsis: The world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of a human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up with them despite their differences. In the lonesome boat sailing through mystical overflowed landscapes, they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to this new world.
Zilbalodis directed the painterfly CG film, wrote the dialog-free script with Matiss Kaza and Ron Dyens and composed the score with Rihard Zalupe.
