The acquisition was unveiled Monday, and appears to be the first deal announced for a film from the 2020 Cannes Official Selection. It’s also the first acquisition made jointly across both major English-speaking territories since the CMG purchase of Curzon in December. The film will be released theatrically in the U.S. and U.K. in 2021. “Forgotten We’ll Be” is adapted from Héctor Abad Faciolince’s memoir about his father, Colombian human rights activist Dr. Héctor Abad Gómez.
The film also stars Juan Pablo Urrego, Patricia Tamayo and Aida Morales. It’s produced by Caracol Television and DGP. “Forgotten We’ll Be” is the second collaboration between Cohen Media Group and director Trueba, whose “The Artist and the Model” was released by CMG in 2013. Trueba won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1993 for “Belle Epoque.”
The distribution deal was negotiated by Robert Aaronson of CMG and Vicente Canales of Film Factory Entertainment. While there is no physical festival this year, the Cannes Market kicks off today with two separate virtual events — the Cinando-hosted Marché du Film and the Hollywood agencies’ A Demain Marché.
