IFC Entertainment has secured North American rights to Madonna's directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom.

Written by Madonna and Dan Cadan, and co-produced by Madonna and Nicola Doring, the comedy-drama was initially intended as a short. It will get a theatrical run coinciding with video-on-demand availability.

In the film, the intertwining plotlines track, among other characters, a man who spanks for money, a chemist and a pole dancer.
