Pawel Pawlikowski follows his Oscar-winning Ida with Cold War, a passionate love story between two people of different backgrounds, who are fatally mismatched, set against the backdrop of Europe after World War II.
Polish production company Opus Films received Slate funding in 2014 for the development of this film. The release of the film in the Czech Republic, France, Hungary and Spain has also been supported through the Automatic Distribution scheme.
Louisa Dent, Managing Director of Curzon Artificial Eye, said:
"Creative Europe support makes a significant contribution to Curzon's ability to champion European film. It not only helps us take acquisition risks and mount ambitious releases of non-national European films, but also encourages collaboration with European partners such as sales agents and filmmakers."
Curzon has also received funding from Creative Europe to support the release of European films in the UK through the Automatic Distribution scheme.
