IFC Films and FilmNation Win Bidding War for Abortion Drama ‘Happening’
IFC Films plans to release the movie in theaters in early 2022, but the company has not set an exact date yet.
“Audrey Diwan’s quietly devastating sophomore feature is the latest in an ongoing run of tough, emotionally intelligent art films dealing frankly with the subject of abortion access,” he wrote. IFC Films has been hot on the festival circuit, recently nabbing three big titles — Mia Hansen-Løve’s “Bergman Island,” Jacques Audiard’s “Paris, 13th District” and Paul Verhoeven’s buzzy “Benedetta” — at Cannes Film Festival. The company recently released “The Painted Bird,” which was shortlisted for best international feature at the 92nd Oscars.
