deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: MAD Distribution, the pan-Arab releasing arm of Cairo-based pan-Arab film company MAD Solutions, has acquired all Middle East and North African rights to Annemarie Jacir’s Palestine 36.
The hot-button epic about Palestine’s 1936 revolt against British colonial rule features Jeremy Irons (A Reversal of Fortunes), Hiam Abbas (Succession) and Kamel El Basher (The Idol) in a high-profile international cast.
The film is expected to release theatrically in late 2025 following a festival launch. The Arab all-rights distribution deal with MAD comes just a few days after France’s mk2 films and newly launched company Lucky Number announced they were joining forces to handle international sales on Jacir’s film which was previously known as All Before You.
The international co-production involves Jacir and Ossama Bawardi’s Philistine Films, Autonomous, Corniche Media, Mk Productions, and Snowglobe.
