IFC Entertainment confirmed a deal today for Baltasar Kormakur's "Jar City," jumpstarting dealmaking here in Toronto. The company nabbed the film, which won the top prize at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival back in July, prior to "Jar City"'s popular U.S. debut at last weekend's Telluride Film Festival. An unconventional detective story, it follows an aging police detective's search for a loner's murderer and covers events spanning thirty years. [Eugene Hernandez]
