LOS
ANGELES, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/
-- Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS), a next-generation
entertainment studio, announced today two upcoming releases for its
indie film focused streaming service, Fandor, Human
Hibernation and The Accident.
Winner of the FIPRESCI Critics Prize at Berlinale 2024,
Human Hibernation will be added to Fandor on
Tuesday, January 21st. Starting from
the disappearance of Erin, a child who wakes up prematurely from
hibernation, Clara, her older sister, takes a journey to search for
answers and confront the narratives pre-established by the society
in which she lives. One that hibernates during the coldest months
of the year. A reflection on the human being, contradiction, and
the animal condition.
In addition, Narrative Grand Jury Prize Winner at the 2024
Slamdance Film Festival, The Accident, will premiere
on Fandor Tuesday, April 8th. After
being fired, Marcella, a gentle-hearted mother going through
separation, buys a tow truck; she gets trapped deeper and deeper in
a cynical and aggressive world until a terrible opportunity shines
in front of her.
The two films join Fandor's ever-growing catalog of daring and
distinct films including the wildly successful, Hundreds of
Beavers, which follows the story of a drunken applejack
salesman who must go from zero to hero and become North America's greatest fur trapper by
defeating hundreds of beavers. LA Times, The Washington Post and AV
Club all included it as one of the best films of 2024 and
Letterboxd named it 2024's Highest Rated Comedy.
The deals for the films were negotiated by Executive Director,
Acquisitions, Brandon Hill and
Acquisitions Coordinator, Anishita Moitra, on behalf of Cineverse
with Gloria Bretones of Begin Again
films on Human Hibernation and Giuseppe Garau of Storia
del Fantasma on The Accident.
Other titles currently available on Fandor include Atlantide,
Mustang, The Love Witch, We Need to Talk About
Kevin, Ramona, Maurice, Marwencol, Lake
Michigan Monster, Burst City, and many more.
