Entertainment One Films Canada has picked up four titles out of the Berlin Film Festival, taking rights to Florence Foster Jenkins from Pathe, Sea of Tree from Bloom, Brimstone from Film Farm/CAA and Mr. Holmes from FilmNation.

“We always buy one-offs on top of our [Canadian] output deals. It’s important for us to do so,” Patrick Roy, eOne Films Canada and Les Films Seville president, told Playback Daily about the four acquisitions inked in Berlin, which is known as a market for arthouse films.

Florence Foster Jenkins, directed by Stephen Frears and starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, was first shopped at AFM, where eOne picked up the true-life drama of an aspiring opera singer for Australia. The indie distributor then wrapped up the Canadian rights deal in Berlin.

eOne took the Canadian, U.K. and Australian rights to Gus Van Sant’s Sea of Trees, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Naomi Watts, and the Canadian rights only to the period western thriller Brimstone, from Dutch writer/director Martin Koolhoven and starring Mia Wasikowska, Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson.

The Canada-Netherlands-Germany coproduction Brimstone will shoot in Alberta and Europe, with Film Farm as the Canadian partner.

And the indie distributor picked up the Canadian and U.K. rights to Bill Condon’s Sherlock Holmes tale Mr. Holmes, which stars Ian McKellen and Laura Linney.

Roy said all four titles offer “solid scripts, solid directors and great casting.”

eOne has amassed increasing clout in recent years to negotiate multi-territory film rights deals as it builds out its international distribution network.

At the same time, Roy said multi-regional deals aren’t always possible as individual territories may see no local market fit with a film title.

“There’s many possibilities, one country or all the countries, or only a few, as in most of these cases,” he said.
