Magnify is handling global and U.S. sales rights (excluding France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Brazil). The producing team includes Agustina Costa Varsi of Ambar Film Company (Italy), Tommaso Bertani of Ring Film (Italy), David Hurst of Dublin Films (France), Karen Castanho of Biônica Filmes (Brazil), Luis Urbano of O som e a fúria (Portugal), Iván Eibuszyc of Frutacine (Argentina), Christoph Friedel of Pandora (Germany), and Stefano Centini of Volos Films (Taiwan). With the participation of ZDF/Arte. Argentinian director, producer, and curator Granovsky has produced films by Matias Piñeiro and Mauro Andrizzi, among others.

His directorial debut, The Territories, premiered at Rotterdam in 2017 and went on to screen at more than 25 festivals, prior to being released by MUBI for Ibero America. 'I'm obsessed with white megalomaniacs from the past and present. Their mix of epic ambition and childish restlessness fascinates me,' said filmmaker Granovsky. 'Comedy comes alive through these ever-transforming, glory-hungry characters: too much monumental energy for one single body, too much story for one.' 'We are thrilled to be working with this exciting team on Jealous White Men — a wild, funny, and bold adventure that flips historical narratives on their head,' added Austin Kennedy, Director of Sales at Magnify. 'Led by an exceptional cast, the film is a fresh take on the period genre, filled with striking visuals, epic scenery, and a sharp sense of humor.'

Todd Haynes Says How Trump's Presidency Will Affect Movie Business Is a ‘Real Question Hanging Over All American Filmmakers': ‘We're in a Particular Crisis Right Now'
Todd Haynes, who is serving as Berlin Film Festival jury president, spoke out against Donald Trump's administration as the fest kicked off on Thursday. When asked his thoughts on Trump's second term at the jury press conference, the 'May December' director said bluntly: 'We're in a state of particular crisis right now in the United States.'

I think that's been part of the strategy, to create a sense of destabilization and shock among the people. So how we proceed through coalescing different forms of resistance are still in the works and are still being figured out among Democrats. I have no doubt there will be many people who did in fact vote for this president who will be quickly disillusioned by promises he made about economic stability in the U.S.' Haynes also said that the how Trump's return 'will affect filming is a real question hanging over all American filmmakers.' 'I think it's a question that extends beyond the world of filmmaking, it's how do you protect your own integrity and point of view and speak out against these issues … Always with filmmaking in particular, the filmmaking question is complicated,' he said. 'So it's about financiers who are willing to take a risk and …. it takes examples and positive outcomes to fortify these risks.' Haynes is joined on the jury by Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing, Moroccan filmmaker Nabil Ayouch ('Everybody Loves Touda'), German costume designer Bina Daigeler ('Tár'), Argentinian director Rodrigo Moreno ('The Delinquents'), film critic Amy Nicholson and actor-director Maria Schrader ('She Said'). The festival will open on Thursday night with the premiere of Tom Tykwer's new film, 'Das Licht' ('The Light'). The film marks Tykwer's return to the big screen after seven years and four seasons as writer and director of the hit series 'Babylon Berlin.' Berlin Film Festival runs through Feb. 23.
