London-based Taskovski Films has acquired worldwide rights outside Italy to Jacopo Quadri’s “Ultimina,” which world premieres on Nov. 21 at Amsterdam’s IDFA documentary festival.
“Ultimina” is co-produced by Quadri’s Rome-based outfit Ubulibri with Rai Cinema and the deal takes in streaming rights on the Taskovski Films Vimeo VOD platform.
The documentary follows a 86-year-old woman living alone on a Tuscany farm, who looks back on a tough life in which men have always been the boss.
“The film is presented in a unique auteurist language and it touches on an important topic for us, which is women’s rights, speaking not only about the older days and generations in Italy, but the whole of European women rights over the last 70 years,” Taskovski Films CEO, Irena Taskovski, told Variety.
She added: “We were captivated by the character of Ultimina, a cheerful and joyous 80-year-old lady full of enthusiasm and energy,...

Not that we can’t see why, and in this tough yet loving portrait by documentary filmmaker Marie Dumora, we witness Belinda’s evolution from a girl thrown into a group home and separated from her sister at a young age, to a teenager and adult who can’t quite escape the criminal tendencies of her clan.
