North American rights to producer-director Jonathan Demmes documentary Jimmy Carter Man From Plains, a record of the former presidents recent book tour, have been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics from Participant Prods.
Washington, August 21 : North American rights to producer-director Jonathan Demme's documentary "Jimmy Carter Man From Plains," a record of the former president's recent book tour, have been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics from Participant Prods.
The documentary follows Carter on the tour for his book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," using the trip to elucidate his search for international peace.
Demme and a camera crew led by Declan Quinn filmed a close picture of Carter as he dealt with the slings and arrows generated by his confrontational public appearances across the country.
The film will be shown at this month's Venice Film Festival and is rumoured to be among the films on next month's Toronto International Film Festival line-up.
ICM, which reps Demme, talked out the deal on behalf of Participant and is handling worldwide sales on the project, reports Variety.
Demme produced the film for his company Clinica Estetico with Neda Armian.
"Plains" is executive produced by Participant's Jeff Skoll, Diane Weyermann and Ron Bozman.
The director has made several applauded documentaries in his career, especially "Neil Young: Heart of Gold," "The Agronomist," "Storefront Hitchcock" and "Stop Making Sense."
