A French action film and an American indie romance are both up for grabs with international buyers at the Tokyo International Film Festival‘s TIFFCOM market.

Cappu Films has sold “Red Bird” to Kinologistika LLC for the CIS region, which covers Russia and other former Soviet states, and has taken on international sales for “Step Back, Doors Closing.”

“Red Bird” is directed by Alexandre Laugier, Thomas Habibes and Houssam Adili, who draw on backgrounds in stunt work and martial arts. Habibes and Adili also take the lead roles, with Eric Delcourt, Jean-Louis Tribes and Jean-Marie Paris in support. The story follows Max, whose father worked covertly as Red Bird. When the older man dies in unexplained circumstances, Max and his friend Sam set out to learn the truth, and the search leads them into a perilous plot.
