Rome-based sales company Coccinelle Film has closed U.S. deals on two new Italian Lgbt titles, confirming the international appeal of what is becoming a small but significant local cinema sub-genre.
Strand Releasing has taken North American rights to “Mom+Mom,” about two southern Italian women who struggle to have a child together because of a local law that forbids gays and lesbians to adopt or have babies.
The U.K. rights for “Mom+Mom” have been picked up by Lgbt specialty distributor Tla Releasing, while its sister company Optimale has picked up the pic for France.
Produced by prominent shingle Bibi Film – which recently made Netflix’s first Italian movie, gangster pic “The Ruthless” – “Mom+Mom” features Linda Caridi (“Antonia”) and Maria Roveran (“These Days”) as the couple who with great difficulty raise money to go to Barcelona for artificial insemination.
