GKIDS has announced the North American virtual theatrical release of Marona's Fantastic Tale, from director Anca Damian. Starting June 12, 2020, the film, which played in competition at the Annecy International Film Festival, and won the Animation is Film Special Jury Prize last year, will be made available at MaronaMovie.com through virtual cinema partner links. The virtual release includes additional interview content with director Anca Damian.

Initial virtual cinema partners include the Laemmle Theaters in Los Angeles and The Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, with additional partner theaters and organizations to be added. A percentage of the net proceeds of every 'ticket' sold will go to listed partner theaters and related organizations. The complete listing of affiliate theater and organization links and how to purchase a virtual 'ticket' will be available at MaronaMovie.com

"While GKIDS and our exhibition partners' original intention was for audiences to enjoy Marona's Fantastic Tale as an in-theater experience, we are elated to bring this beautiful, touching film to home viewers through virtual cinema," said Chance Huskey, GKIDS' Director of Distribution. "During this time when many of us are socially isolated, we are hopeful that this film will serve as a reminder to cherish even the smallest moments with our friends and companions."
