NEW YORK -- Continuing a flurry of recent deals under its new head of acquisitions, Marie Therese Guirgis, indie banner Wellspring has acquired U.S rights to Dans ma peau (In My Skin), the first feature directed by Marina de Van. Peau, which follows a young woman's increasing fascination with her body after sustaining an injury at a party, premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain and will be released theatrically at the end of the year. De Van, who co-wrote Francois Ozon's 8 Women and Under the Sand, penned the script and stars in Peau. Laurence Farenc served as producer. The deal was brokered by Guirgis and Pierre Menahem of Paris-based sales outfit Celluloid Dreams. Also this month, Wellspring snapped up international rights to Billy Corben's controversial documentary Raw Deal as well as another documentary, Horns and Halos, by Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley (HR 3/18).
