Cartuna has acquired North American distribution rights to “Dog of God,” the animated feature written and directed by Latvian filmmakers Lauris Ābele and Raitis Ābele, following its screening at the Sitges Film Festival. The company will release the film theatrically in 2026.
“Dog of God” also reps Latvia in the international Oscar race, and has made the European Film Awards shortlist for best animated feature. Animation may prove to be fruitful for Latvia once again during awards season — earlier this year, “Flow” won an Academy Award for animated feature, Latvia’s first, and it also earned an international feature nomination.
