Paris-based company Indie Sales has closed a raft of major deals on ‘‘Maria Montessori,” a film starring Italian actress Jasmine Trinca (“Fortunata”) as the famed Italian physician and educator who invented a teaching method that is still being used in many schools bearing her name all over the world.
The film, which marks Léa Todorov’s debut feature, has been acquired for Australia and New Zealand (Palace), the Baltics (Best Film), Benelux (Cinéart), Bulgaria (Cinelibri), Canada (Tva), Denmark, Norway & Sweden (Studio S Entertainment), Latin America (Encripta) and Taiwan (Proview Enterprise Inc).
Indie Sales had previously sold it to Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Portugal, Russia and Cis, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. The company is expected to pursue sales at the European Film Market.
Trinca stars opposite French actor Leïla Bekhti (“The Restless”), who plays Lili d’Alengy, an emancipated French woman well-known on the Parisian cabaret scene. The two women bonded over their children.

Once in Rome, her life is turned upside down by a meeting with Maria Montessori, a woman doctor who has developed a method for teaching children with learning difficulties. Cinematographer Sébastien Goepfert teamed with Todorov. This was produced by Geko Films’ Grégoire Debailly (Shéhérazade).…...
