1-2 Special has secured all North American distribution rights for Emmanuel Marre’s 'A Man of His Time,' a Cannes competition title that premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and won Best Screenplay.
An elderly farmer, Sveinn, is described as a man of his time, yet open-minded and forward-looking rather than dwelling on the past. He was familiar with all the struggles of his era.
Emmanuel Marre’s film 'A Man of His Time,' which won an award for best screenplay at Cannes, has secured key distribution deals across Europe and Asia through Charades.
The Cannes Film Festival featured premieres of various international films, including "Ulya," "Nada," and "A Man of His Time," with some receiving standing ovations and critical reviews. The event also saw political statements, such as Pedro Almodóvar wearing a "Free Palestine" badge, and discussions on film industry plans like Greece's $927 million initiative.
