Hi! This film can be seen in film festivals (for example at the Seattle FIlm Festival just now), but to tell you the truth, the film has a quite 'local' taste to it, difficult to translate so I doubt U.S. distributors will open it widely. But I am sure it will be in paid TV and VOD later on. Sales agent is Film Factory and their gral contact (i...@filmfactory.es)
Good luck!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
