Vee Shi’s debut feature “Time and Tide” has secured an international sales partner, with Paris-based Inwave Films taking on the film. The deal gives the project a new boost following its emergence as a Sydney Film Festival winner.

“Time and Tide” is described as a hybrid nonfiction film, placing it in a space that blends documentary approaches with other storytelling techniques. Earlier this year, the feature made its world premiere in competition in the Burning Lights section at Visions du Réel, adding festival momentum ahead of the new sales announcement.

The Inwave Films pickup signals growing international interest in the title as it continues its festival journey. For a debut feature, the move marks an important step in building visibility beyond its initial screenings and awards attention.

With a Paris sales company now backing the film, “Time and Tide” appears positioned for further exposure in global markets. The latest development adds to the profile of Vee Shi’s first feature as it builds on its early festival success.
