The Tale of Silyan, a documentary about a wounded stork and the farmer who cares for it, which won the best film Cinema and Arts Award at the Venice Film Festival, played at the Toronto International Film Festival and was subsequently entered by North Macedonia in the best international feature Oscar competition, has been acquired by National Geographic Documentary Films, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The doc, which was directed by the Oscar-nominated filmmaker Tamara Kotevska (Honeyland) and counts Laurene Powell Jobs and Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim among its executive producers, was made in collaboration with Concordia Studio, The Corner Shop and Ciconia Film. Through a deal negotiated by UTA Independent Film Group on behalf of the filmmakers, Nat Geo acquired the film’s worldwide rights, and will continue to roll it out at film festivals around the world before releasing it in theaters and then on Disney+ later this year.
