14/02/2026 - The company born of the union between Film Constellation and Global Screen is also selling Sophie Heldman’s The Education of Jane Cumming at the market

Global Constellation, the new name the company has adopted following the merger of Film Constellation and Global Screen, has been operating since 2025. Now part of the Vuelta Group, the sales outfit is at this year’s ongoing European Film Market (EFM) with a mixed and varied offering.

Opening the list are two titles in the Panorama official selection: the Canadian-Ghanaian set drama Paradise, the debut feature by Jérémy Comte (the director of the Academy Award-nominated short film Fauve), and the period drama The Education of Jane Cumming by Sophie Heldman.

The former is focused on Kojo (Daniel Atsu Hukporti), a young Ghanaian, drawn into a world of street gangs and deception in the wake of his father’s disappearance at sea. Meanwhile, in Quebec, Tony (Joey Boivin Desmeules) finds out about his mother’s relationship with a mysterious sailor who may hold the key to finding the father he’s always longed to meet.

Meanwhile, in Heldman’s work, set in 1810s Edinburgh, two teachers open a boarding school where, one day, a wealthy aristocrat enrols Jane Cumming, her “illegitimate” 15-year-old grandchild from India. From that day on, their lives will change. The film stars Flora Nicholson, Clare Dunne, Mia Tharia, Fiona Shaw and Sadie Shimmin.

On the market front, Global Constellation is launching sales on the upcoming CG animated family adventure Dragoons, directed by Shea Wageman (Charlie the Wonderdog), from leading Canadian animation studio ICON Creative Studio. After a freak accident at WizCorp turns an overlooked Dragoon worker into a mighty dragon, he discovers that his kind once ruled the skies until the wizard CEO Hex shrank them, wiped their memories and stole their power to build his empire. Now that he knows, with his best friend beside him, he must find the courage to rise, awaken his people and prove that even the smallest spark can light up the sky.

The company is also launching the World War II comedy Bad Major by Peter Fellows, from the team behind The Death of Stalin [+see also:
