deadline.comA24 has unveiled a raft of key territory deals for Jonathan Glazer’s hotly tipped Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or frontrunner The Zone Of Interest ahead of the awards ceremony on Saturday.
The film has sold to Austria and Germany (Leonine), Benelux (Cineart), France (Bac), Greece (Spentzos), Italy (I Wonder), Japan (Happinet Phantom Studios), Scandinavia (SF Studios), Spain (Elastica) and Switzerland (Filmcoopi).
Other distributors include Poland’s Gutek, which pre-bought the film in a deal not brokered by A24.
