Salaud Morisset has taken world sales rights on Cyril Aris’ feature documentary “,” which premiered in the main competition at Karlovy Vary this week, and Una Gunjak’s fiction feature “Excursion,” just announced as the opener of Locarno Film Festival’s Filmmakers of the Present section. Salaud Morisset, which is also a co-producer on “Excursion,” aims to continue fostering synergies between its production and sales operations as it commits to a full slate of feature projects.

Morisset also boasts long standing relationships with other A-list talent through shorts. The company worked with Oscar Isaac on Elvira Lind’s Oscar nominated short “The Letter Room” and with Tom Holland on the short “Last Call,” which premiered in Tribeca. Morisset regularly keeps in touch with the big four talent agencies. He was invited to join AMPAS in 2021 and currently serves on the Short Film and Feature Animation Executive committee.

As his company prepares for a busy summer and commits to the big leap from shorts to features, Morisset shared his vision for the company with: “Our philosophy is to focus on upcoming directors and very contemporary stories. We like it when those stories have a positive angle.

The Germany/Lebanon co-production is produced by Katharina Weser for Reynard Films and Myriam Sassine for Abbout Productions. Aris is also known as the editor of “Costa Brava, Lebanon” , directed by Mounia Akl, which premiered at the 78th Venice Film Festival, won the NETPAC award at Toronto and the audience award at the BFI London Film Festival.
