El Bulli: Cooking in Progress, directed by Gereon Wetzel (Castells). To be released under the company’s newly launched theatrical line Alive Mind Cinema, the film is set to begin its national run at New York’s Film Forum on July 27, 2011, and will expand to other markets around the country during the fall.
The deal was negotiated by Kino Lorber’s Vice President Elizabeth Sheldon with Peter Jager, CEO and Astrid Guger, Head of Theatrical Sales – both from Autlook Films.
