Outsider Pictures will release Pablo Giorgelli’s film Las Acacias in the United States.  Las Acacias recently screened as part of the 29th annual Miami International Film Festival (MIFF)’s new category, the Lexus Ibero-American Opera-Prima Competition.

Already a winner of major prizes at last year’s Cannes Film Festival (Camera d’Or for Best First Film) and the Latin Horizons prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival, Giorgelli’s film unfolds along the highway linking Asunción to Buenos Aires, which trucker Rubén is accustomed to traveling solo. This time, however, he’s got a passenger, Jacinta, and a road full of revelations on the horizon. Giorgelli’s film was co-produced by Buenos Aires-based companies AIRECINE and Utópica Cine, along with Armonika Entertainment from Spain.

Las Acacias is the second film acquired by Outsider Pictures from the Miami International Film Festival. Outsider picked up MIFF’s Lexus Audience Award winner Juan of The Dead, just prior to the Festival.
