iW NEWS | Sony Classics Has Got “Soul”
by indieWIRE (November 4, 2008)
The North American and Latin American rights to Jeffrey Levy-Hinte‘s “Soul Power” have been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, details the 12-hour, three-night long concert held in Kinshasa, Zaire in 1974. “Zaire ‘74,’ is a legendary musical festival which circumstances have conspired to conceal from a wider public,” said Levy-Hinte in a statement. “In my quest to share the festival as broadly as possible, I could have no better partner than Sony Pictures Classics.” Submarine Entertainment is repping the film and negotiated the deal with SPC which secured the rights over other companies actively vying for the film. Celluloid Dreams previously acquired the international rights. [Peter Knegt]
