Taskovski Films Sales has picked up the documentary “Possibility of Paradise” by Serbian filmmaker Mladen Kovačević, which will premiere on September 3 during Venice Days, an independent side program of the Venice Film Festival.
The film, shot in Bali, focuses on people searching for a new Eden. "The happiness, along with the existential and ethical angst that follows, is at the heart of the film," according to Venice Days, which describes it as a "bold, subtly rendered vision of what it means to live in an earthly paradise that is not culturally ours."
