When you go to a film festival alot of the movies screened are without film distributors for certain countries and off course showning there movie at a particular festival can help the movie get that elusive distribution rights. Even when you do get it, sometimes you may have to wait a very long time to see the movie on a theatrical release and YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE by Sook-Yin Lee is one example of how long you have to wait.
First screened away back September 2009 at Toronto Film Festival, the movie has now been picked up by E1 Entertainment and they have posted a full trailer online, check it out below after the break . There's no news on when it actually will be release but do expect a summer release, as for UK & Ireland no word if it'll get a release.
synopsis:Year of the Carnivore is a romantic-comedy-drama about a girl with an unrequited crush on a boy who thinks she's bad in bed, so she goes out to get more 'experience'. SAMMY SMALLS is a 21-year-old tomboy who works as a store detective at Big Apple Food Town. Her job is to deliver shoplifters to her boss who beats them up so they never re-offend. Sammy feels guilty over her part in the dodgy scheme and wants to quit, but she doesn't have many options. She certainly isn't moving back home to live with her unhappy and over-protective parents. Meanwhile, Sammy is head over heels for scruffy street musician Eugene Zaslavsky. He's perfect for her, funny, irreverent and sensitive, but the problem is, he doesn't want to be in a relationship. After a disastrous one-night stand that goes beyond the boundaries of their friendship, Eugene suggests they play the field to get more experience. Following his advice, Sammy hatches a plan catapulting her on a quest that takes her through her neighbours’ bedroom, the public swimming pool, and finally to blackmailing shoplifters into giving her sex lessons in the woods behind the supermarket.
