Gersh and Other Angle Pictures have boarded Avi Nesher’s feature film “Our Loves” for sales. Gersh will rep U.S. sales with Los Angeles-based global sales agency Other Angle takes international. The winner of best picture at Ophir automatically becomes Israel’s official Oscars entry for international feature film.
The feature film follows five men and women who are each in an unusual or fractured relationship in the months leading up to Oct. 7 (where Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,000 people and took another 240 hostage), with their lives intertwining unknowingly. It stars Shalom Michaelshvili, Magi Azarzar, Yaniv Biton, Noa Cohen, Daniel Gimpel, Hadas Yaron, Evelin Hagoel, Lena Fraifeld, Sean Mongoza, Kim Or Azulay, Leib Lev Levin, Nomi Aharoni-Gal (Nunu), Lior Miller, Elad Turgeman, Amir Banai, Nevo Katan and Itamar Pinto. The film, which is Nesher’s 21st feature, also opens the Haifa International Film Festival next month, courtesy of United King Films, where Nesher will also be honored with a lifetime achievement award.
The director, whose oeuvre includes “Rage and Glory,” “Turn Left at the End of the World” and “The Secrets,” is widely regarded as one of Israel’s most groundbreaking filmmakers. I have been selling films for over 25 years. Whether they are comedies, dramas or biopics, what they all have in common is their genuine sincerity.
This film is no exception. It moved me to tears because of that sincerity. That’s why we are fully on board and ready to champion it, present it to our buyers and bring it to audiences worldwide.” “Our Loves” is produced by United King Films, Shari Redstone’s Sipur Studios, Fox Entertainment Studios, Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen’s Access Entertainment, Moriah Media and Artomas Communications.
