Leo Barraclough International Features Editor London- and Paris-based production, finance and sales outfit Film Constellation has boarded international sales on Titus Kaphar’s drama “Exhibiting Forgiveness.” The film received strong reviews after its January premiere at Sundance in the U.S. Dramatic Competition section, and was picked up for North American distribution by Roadside Attractions, with plans for a wide theatrical release in the fall and awards campaign.
Film Constellation will screen the film for buyers in Cannes. In the film, an artist finds his path to success derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, a troubled man desperate to reconcile.
Together, they learn that forgetting may be harder than forgiving. The directorial debut of visual artist Kaphar, “Exhibiting Forgiveness” stars André Holland (“Moonlight,” “Passing”), Andra Day (“The United States vs.
Billie Holliday,” Lee Daniels’ upcoming “The Deliverance”), John Earl Jelks (“Night Comes On,” “True Detective”) and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (“Origin,” “The Color Purple”). Variety’s Owen Gleiberman gave the film a positive review, describing it as “a forceful drama free of feel-good fakery” and praising Holland’s performance as “fierce, haunted and alive.” The film features cinematography by Lachlan Milne (“Minari,” “The Inspection”), editing by Ron Patane (“A Most Violent Year,” “Triple Frontier”) and music by Jherek Bischoff.
