It’s not too late to pick up a thoughtful gift for the people in your life, and that includes film distributors. While much of Hollywood is shutting down in advance of the holidays, plenty of cinema-loving elves are still toiling away in hopes of seeing their (very deserving) films land underneath the metaphorical tree.
And there are plenty of gifts to share, because even as the distribution landscape continues to shift and shape with startling regularity, some of the year’s most interesting and unique cinematic efforts are still looking for a home. In fact, we’ve got 18 of them wrapped and ready to go.

Big sales were hardly in short supply at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, with Netflix going wild for “Fair Play,” AppleTV+ shelling out for “Flora and Son,” and Searchlight Pictures snapping up “Theater Camp”, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of superior films still looking for homes.
Of the still-for-sale titles that premiered at this year’s festival, there’s plenty to intrigue all sorts of buyers, from those looking for films with excellent performances that could inspire major awards pushes (like the Jonathan Majors-starring “Magazine Dreams”), those in search of the next big director, hungry genre hounds (see: “Divinity”), and even documentary lovers looking for films with incredible real world impact.
And while it’s still early days, given the incredible assortment of films still looking for homes, we can’t help but tout their allure to all interested buyers. These aren’t just...

‘Bad Behaviour’ Review: Jennifer Connelly Goes Wild in Alice Englert’s Thrilling, Darkly Funny Debut
Lucy is looking for enlightenment. Dylan wants to prove her strength. And in “Bad Behaviour,” both mother and daughter will find their way there. Well, eventually.
First off, we’ll dispatch with the sadly necessary disclaimer: Englert is, as the Internet would love for us all to repeatedly yell about for mostly boring ends, a “nepo baby.” The daughter of Oscar-winning filmmaker Jane Campion and fellow director Colin Englert, Englert has long dedicated herself to her own artistic career. She’s an actress, writer, singer, and songwriter, and with “Bad Behaviour,” she ascends to feature filmmaker status (she’s got two short films under her belt already).
Perhaps it’s the talent in her genes, perhaps it’s her unique life experience, perhaps some combo of that and more, but Englert is already a formidable, fully formed filmmaker. Dumb labels be damned: She’s the real deal, and “Bad Behaviour” is proof positive of that.

'Beautiful Creatures' Star Alice Englert on Why She Committed to a Potential Franchise-Starting Film
Alice Englert was destined to work in the film industry. The daughter of filmmakers Colin Englert and Jane Campion -- the first woman to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes, for The Piano, for which she also won the screenplay Oscar -- Englert has the industry in her blood. “It’s the only thing I understand,” she says. “Stories are the only thing that I can be bothered with. It’s the only way that I can do anything, even if I’m quite useless. It’s the only area in being human where I could be a little useful.” Film Review: Beautiful Creatures

You'll be seeing a lot of Alice Englert this year. The enchanting English ingénue born of filmmakers Jane Campion and Colin Englert will hit screens in four new features this year, including Sally Potter's daring coming-of-age drama Ginger & Rosa, Richard Lagravenese's adaptation of the popular Ya novel Beautiful Creatures, and Roland Joffé's mysterious romance epic Singularity. But first, Englert will hit Sundance for the premiere of Jeremy Lovering's In Fear. This psychological thriller marks Lovering's first feature film after a career of helming various British television productions. In Fear stars Englert alongside Scottish television star Iain De Caestecker, and Allen Leech, best-known to American audiences as the socialist chauffeur Tom Branson of Downton Abbey. However none of these attractive rising stars are the focus of In Fear's Sundance poster. Instead, the producers have gone for a sharp graphic approach, which you can check out below:...

Sally Potter explores the tempestuous bonds of female friendship and the brutal battle of self-discovery that is adolescence in the poignant and thought-provoking drama Ginger & Rosa. Elle Fanning and Alice Englert (daughter of filmmakers Jane Campion and Colin Englert) star as the titular pair of 17-year-olds who were born in London while the bombing of Hiroshima half a world away forever changed the landscape of warfare and made the easy annihilation of the human race a very real possibility. With the threat of nuclear war always looming, this is no nostalgic traipse through the fashions and fads of the 1960s. Instead, Potter explores the politics of the time through the very personal story of these two girls who refuse to become their mothers. Ginger and Rosa decide themselves rebels.but jointly so.making themselves twins in the uniform of beatniks down to the jeans they've made skinny by wearing them...

Despite holding an online casting call to try and find a British or Irish girl to play the lead in Sally Potter's latest film Bomb with over 1500 applications, the producers have played it safe and cast American starlet Elle Fanning, as reported by Deadline.
Bomb, written and directed by Sally Potter, is about two young rebels at the forefront of political, social and sexual change, and is set in London in the early Sixties.
13 year old Elle will take the lead role of Ginger, described as the ‘brainy’ one who wants to get involved with the anti-nuclear movement in 1960s London, but as the cold war meets the sexual revolution, it’s her family that threatens to explode. She appeared in this summer’s blockbuster Super 8 and will shortly be seen in Cameron Crowe's forthcoming drama We Bought A Zoo.
Joining her will be 17 year old New Zealander Alice Englert,...
