Exclusive: In Absentia, a feature doc from the six-time Oscar-nominated director of My Left Foot and In America Jim Sheridan, has locked a sales deal with UK outfit Studio Soho.
The project digs into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, a French film and TV producer who was killed while at her isolated holiday cottage in West Cork, Ireland, just days before Christmas in 1996.
Sheridan has been researching the story for five years. The case has caused scandal and controversy in Ireland and France. In May this year, the French courts convicted Cork resident Ian Bailey in absentia of the murder and sentenced him to 25 years’ imprisonment. Bailey has protested his innocence for the past two decades and is living as a free man in Ireland, though remains under threat of extradition to France.
Since 2015, Sheridan has filmed with Sophie’s family and supporters at their homes in West Cork and Paris.
