Mubi Acquires U.K. and Germany Rights for Venice Competition Film ‘Harvest,’ Starring Caleb Landry Jones

Mubi has secured distribution rights for “Harvest,” directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari (“Attenberg,” “Chevalier”) and featuring Caleb Landry Jones, in several major territories ahead of its competition premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The film will be released in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, and Latin America, with specific release dates to be announced soon.

Adapting Jim Crace’s Booker Prize-shortlisted novel, “Harvest” uncovers over seven surreal days in a nameless village that vanishes in an undefined time and place. The story follows Walter Thirsk, a townsman turned farmer, and his confused friend Charles Kent, the lord of the manor, as they confront the disruptive force of modernity.

Joining Landry Jones, known for his breakout role in Martin McDonagh’s “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and his Cannes-winning performance in “Nitram,” are Harry Melling (“The Tragedy of Macbeth,” “The Queen’s Gambit”), Rosy McEwen (“Blue Jean,” “The Alienist”), Arinzé Kene (“Ear for Eye,” “I’m Your Woman”), Thalissa Teixeira (“Alice & Jack,” “Two Weeks to Live”), and Frank Dillane (“Renegade Nell,” “The Essex Serpent”).

The film’s production team includes Tsangari, Marie-Elena Dyche, Rebecca O’Brien from Sixteen Films, Joslyn Barnes from Louverture Films, and Michael Weber and Viola Fügen from The Match Factory. “Harvest” is a collaborative effort involving Haos Film, Faliro House Productions, Why Not Productions, Meraki Films, and Roag Films.

Its financing comes from BBC Film, Screen Scotland, Ashland Hill Media Finance in the U.K., Bayerischer Rundfunk ARTE, Film und Medienstiftung NRW in Germany, the National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication EKOME, the Greek Film Centre, Arte France, Arte France Cinéma, the Artemis Rising Foundation, and In Bloom.
