Exclusive: HotDocs title gets international sales deal.
First Hand Films has boarded sales for Selma Vilhunen’s documentary feature Hobbyhorse Revolution.
Hobbyhorse Revolution was released by Tuffi Films in Finnish cinemas in March and will be released in Sweden later this year by Folkets Bio. It won two prizes at Tampere Film Festival in March and also played at HotDocs.
