Los Angeles, CA – February 7, 2019 –
ROCK SALT RELEASING screens ‘NONA’ and ‘MADAM YANKELOVA’S FINE LITERATURE CLUB’ in Berlin, Variety reports exclusively.
Aiming for a cinematic world that promises to shape and impact the industry’s future, the art house label will screen NONA (2018) and Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club (2017) – films that present powerfully progressive, intelligent and beautifully brave women as highbrow film leads, daring to challenge the status quo. “Films that feature women don’t have to be dramas, and the women don’t even have to be heroines. We want to showcase films that paint the various shades of womanhood in a way that can be comedic, thrilling, unexpected and equally appealing to men,” stated Daisy Hamilton, founder of ROCK SALT RELEASING.

NONA (aka ‘No Name’) – from world-renowned Writer / Director / Cinematographer, Michael Polish (Twin Falls Idaho, Northfork) and Executive Producer / self-starring, Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns, The Long Road Home), North of Two’s multi-award winning drama showcases the unbound limits a young girl is willing to go for freedom. When a young Honduran woman meets a charming, handsome man who offers to rescue her from the homeland’s everyday violence. Promising to arrive safely in America and to reunite with her mother, the two journey through peaceful, rolling hills, until the man’s true intentions are revealed. Her previous idyllic and colorful world becomes completely dark with a blindfold, as she soon realizes that her nightmare is just beginning.
Alongside Bosworth, the heart wrenching human trafficking tale stars Sulem Calderon (One of the Good Ones, upcoming 2020 Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson) and Jesy McKinney (One of the Good Ones). NONA kicked off the festival, screening at Cinemaxx 16 on Thursday, Feb. 7th at 14:35. ROCK SALT RELEASING has released the film’s official trailer here: https://vimeo.com/314149141.
Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club – from Director, Guilhad Emilio Schenker and writer, Yossi Meiri (A Wonderful Day), the award-winning fantasy/dark comedy is abedtime story for the broken hearted, the tenderly twisted and the fed-up feminist.
