London based Altitude Film Sales is bringing three new titles to the European Film Market (EFM) at the Berlin Film Festival in addition to its previously announced slate. Of these, Blood Mountain, directed by Sergei Bodrov (Mongol) and starring white-hot British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, will be the star attraction for buyers. Germany’s Getaway Pictures will handle the European co-production of the film with the UK and the US. The film begins principal photography in April.

Altitude is also representing VICE and Think Media Studios’ Fishing Without Nets for which Cutter Hodierne won this year’s Sundance US Dramatic Directing Award; and Bolshoi Babylon, being directed by Nick Read (The Condemned) and produced by Mark Franchetti (Terror In Moscow).

Mike Runagall, Managing Director of Altitude Film Sales, said, “We are thrilled to bring three new films to Berlin as part of our slate.  Each film is fresh and distinctive, telling a uniquely compelling story that will connect with international audiences. Our first full year delivered great results and we look forward to further building on this as we begin a new market season.”
