Ann Oren’s Film Acquired by Oscilloscope Labs for 2026 Locarno Premiere

Oscilloscope Laboratories has made a significant move ahead of the 2026 Locarno Film Festival, acquiring the North American rights to Ann Oren’s film, Objet a. This acquisition is particularly noteworthy as it precedes the film’s world premiere in the international competition at the festival.

The film, written and directed by Ann Oren, is also co-written by Geoffroy Grison, indicating a collaborative effort in its creation. Details about the film’s plot and themes have not been widely disclosed, but the acquisition by Oscilloscope Laboratories suggests a level of anticipation and promise surrounding Objet a.

Ann Oren’s work with Oscilloscope Laboratories is not new, as reportedly, this marks the second collaboration between the two parties. Their previous collaboration was on the U.S. release of one of Oren’s earlier works, though the specifics of that project are not mentioned in the current context.

The Locarno Film Festival, set to take place in 2026, will host the world premiere of Objet a, placing it among a select group of films competing internationally. The festival is known for showcasing a wide range of cinematic talents and providing a platform for both established and emerging filmmakers to present their work.

Oscilloscope Laboratories’ acquisition of Objet a for North American distribution underscores the company’s commitment to supporting unique and potentially groundbreaking films. As the film prepares for its premiere, audiences and critics alike are likely to be watching closely, given the involvement of both Oscilloscope and the talented individuals behind the film, including Ann Oren and Geoffroy Grison.
