Italy’s The Open Reel has picked up international sales rights to Daniel Nolasco’s Brazilian hybrid feature “Little Tragedies” (“Pequenas tragédias”), winner last week of the Malaga Festival’s WIP Ibero-América Award.

The film collected a €5,000 ($5,752) cash prize at MAFIZ, Málaga’s industry hub, during the festival’s 29th edition, held March 6-15. Written and directed by Nolasco, “Pequenas tragédias” draws on an overtly personal premise to explore memory, distance and queer belonging.
