Square Eyes Acquires Rights to Venice Days Film

Vienna-based sales agency Square Eyes announced this week that it has acquired the international rights to the film "I Plant My Hand in the Garden." The feature film is the directorial debut for Hoda Taheri and Boris Hadžija, who have previously collaborated on other projects. Its world premiere is scheduled to take place at Venice Days, the independent section of the Venice International Film Festival, also known as Giornate degli Autori.

The acquisition comes just ahead of the film's debut screening, positioning Square Eyes to handle global distribution and sales. The specific terms of the deal were not disclosed. The film's participation in Venice Days, a section known for showcasing emerging talent and independent cinema, suggests a focus on artistic merit and potential critical acclaim. The directing duo's prior work, though not detailed in the announcement, has evidently established a foundation for this feature-length endeavor.

Square Eyes, operating from Vienna, has a history of representing and distributing international films. Their involvement with "I Plant My Hand in the Garden" indicates their continued strategy of investing in new voices and diverse cinematic narratives. The Venice Days section has previously launched films that have gone on to gain significant international recognition, making it a key platform for films seeking global exposure. The acquisition by Square Eyes suggests confidence in the film's marketability and artistic vision.
