REinvent International Sales has scored several deals across its slate at the American Film Market, including “River of Blood,” “Together 99” and “Second Victims.”

The film, which shot on location across Thailand, has been sold to Pandastorm for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and VR Films for India. Ford’s credits include “Never Let Go” and “The Lockdown Hauntings.”
Lukas Moodysson‘s comedy “Together 99,” the Swedish director’s sequel to his 2000 hit movie “Together,” has been sold to BFI in the U.K. The movie follows a group of very different people who lived in a Swedish community called Together in 1975. The story picks up 24 years later, in 1999, with Göran and Klasse who are the last two members of the community. Feeling a bit lonely, they start thinking of a reunion with old friends and Klasse sets off to surprise Göran on his birthday.
“Together” was a critical and commercial hit. It played at Venice and was nominated at the European Film Awards in 2000.

Set against the backdrop of an understaffed stroke unit, “Second Victims” follows skilled neurologist Alexandra whose unwavering confidence is put to the ultimate test when a routine case spirals into tragedy. Blame and guilt ripple through the hospital, pushing Alexandra to confront her own fallibility and the profound repercussions of medical errors. The film is produced by Johannes Rothaus Nørregaard for Meta Film. “Second Victims” is led by a duo of Scandinavian stars, Özlem Saglanmak, whose credits include “Borgen,” and Trine Dyrholm, who previously starred in Susanne Bier’s Oscar winning “In A Better World” and Sundance’s Audience Award winner “Queen of Hearts.”
