La sel de la terre (The Salt of the Earth), directed by Wim Wenders, is a documentary about the renowned Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado.
It was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2015 Academy Awards.
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.
