LYON, France — French distributor Malavida has picked up Wang Chao’s “A Woman,” the Chinese filmmaker’s 2022 drama that won the screenplay prize at San Sebastián but has never received a theatrical release in France. Malavida is also preparing a wider retrospective of his work for spring 2027.

The acquisitions, announced during Lyon’s International Classic Film Market (MIFC), also include three earlier Wang titles — “The Orphan of Anyang” (2001), “Day and Night” (2004) and “Luxury Car” (2006) — with plans to restore “The Orphan of Anyang” and bring the filmmaker to France for the retrospective, scheduled to launch March 24.
