“The Saviors,” the provocative sci-fi thriller that recently bowed in SXSW, is heading to the Cannes Marché.

Protagonist Pictures has boarded international sales on the film, featuring an ensemble cast including Adam Scott, Danielle Deadwyler, Theo Rossi, Kate Berlant, Nazanin Boniadi, Ron Perlman and Greg Kinnear.

Directed by Kevin Hamedani from a script he co-wrote with Travis Betz, “The Saviors” follows Sean and Kim Harrison, a suburban couple on the brink of divorce, who rent their guest house to a quiet Middle Eastern brother and sister. What begins as a practical solution soon spirals into paranoia when bizarre occurrences — mysterious lights, missing animals and glimpses of unexplainable technology — coincide with the days leading up to a Presidential visit. As suspicion mounts, the couple is drawn back together emotionally, even as they uncover a dangerous secret that could have unimaginable consequences.
