Cannes prizewinner Jellyfish finds sales

Pyramide International has completed a sale of its Cannes Camera d'Or winner Jellyfish to Nanni Moretti's Sacher in Italy. The film was also recently acquired in the US by Zeitgeist.
Moretti is known for buying very few films but had a soft spot for Shira Geffen and Etgar Keret's drama, according to Pyramide chief Eric Lagesse.

The film, which won the SACD prize in Critics' Week this year, has also been acquired by Shani in Israel where the film opens this month. Other territories to have picked it up include Korea, Germany and Switzerland.
