Fandango Acquires ‘Anywhere Anytime’ Rights from Venice and Toronto Festivals

Fandango Film Sales has acquired all rights to “Anywhere Anytime,” the debut feature film by Italian-Iranian director Milad Tangshir. This deal comes just before the film’s screenings at the Venice Critics’ Week and TIFF’s Centerpiece section.

“Anywhere Anytime” draws inspiration from Vittorio De Sica’s neorealist classic “Bicycle Thieves,” but reimagines it in a modern setting. The film follows Issa, a young Senegalese illegal immigrant in Turin. After being fired due to his employer’s fear of police crackdowns, Issa starts working as a food delivery driver. This job offers him a temporary sense of security until his bike is stolen. The synopsis explains that “Issa then embarks on a desperate journey through the city’s streets to retrieve his bike.”

Milad Tangshir, born in Tehran in 1983, was part of the Iranian rock band Ahoora before moving to Italy in 2011. He has directed several short fiction films and documentaries, including the virtual reality documentary “VR Free,” showcased at both the Venice and Sundance film festivals.

In his director’s statement, Tangshir shared that “Anywhere Anytime” “examines the fear and constant anxiety of those living on society’s fringes, like the film’s protagonist. It’s a life often unseen, one we pass by on sidewalks and street corners.”

He further noted that the film depicts “a state of extreme vulnerability, where even something as simple as a bicycle can mean the difference between survival and despair.”

“Anywhere Anytime” is produced by Marta Donzelli and Gregorio Paonessa’s Vivo Film and Roberto De Paolis and Carla Altieri’s Young Films, in collaboration with RAI Cinema.
