Lionsgate U.K. has acquired British rights to Oscar-winner James Marsh’s “Instrumental,” starring Andrew Garfield, Oscar nominee for “Hacksaw Ridge.” Lionsgate will also handle international sales, launching the project in Cannes.

The film is based on concert pianist James Rhodes’ memoir, which explores the legacy of the sexual abuse he suffered as a child, including a litany of mental health issues, and how music proved his salvation.

Marsh won an Oscar for documentary feature “Man on Wire,” and won a BAFTA with “The Theory of Everything.”
