Paris-based Mediawan Rights has taken international rights to the animated documentary feature “Flavors of Iraq” from director Léonard Cohen.
“Flavors of Iraq” is a co-production between France’s animation-focused Miyu Productions and documentary-specialized Nova Production (Marie Linton’s “Prison life: Justice in Japan”). Culture channel Arte France is also on board as co-producer.

In 2019 the distribution branch of Mediawan, one of Europe’s most prosperous independent production-distribution groups, launched a feature documentary catalogue “as this market is currently booming and bolder projects are being developed in this form, less codified than the TV documentaries format,” said Castoldi.
