\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Alternativa Distribution<\/a> has acquired selected rights to features including Berlin Film Festival opener<\/a> No Good Men<\/a> ahead of making its debut at the MIPCOM<\/a> market in Cannes.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fledgling distributor<\/a> has acquired several other festival and award-nominated movies ahead of MIPCOM. It will present Akio Fujimoto\u2019s Lost Land<\/a> to buyers, as well as Abinash Bikram Shah\u2019s Elephants in the Fog<\/a> and Kaouther Ben Hania\u2019s Four Daughters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlternativa Distribution will shop Elephants in the Fog in multiple territories across Asia and Latin America; No Good Men in multiple territories across Asia and the MENA region; Four Daughters in multiple territories across Latin America and Asia; and Lost Land across Southeast Asia, ex-Malaysia, the Nordics, Poland and Portugal.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlternativa launched its distribution arm earlier this year to sell impact-driven films to broadcasters and streamers. The Alternativa Distribution division is run by former yesDocu and TikTok exec Avital Lavi.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt launched with a ten-film slate including the Un Certain Regard<\/a> titles If Only I Could Hibernate and A Poet.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new acquisitions come with strong awards and festival pedigree. Elephants in the Fog competed in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival this year, winning the Jury Prize. It was also Nepal\u2019s submission for the Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tLost Land won the Orizzonti Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival<\/a>. Four Daughters shared the L\u2019\u0152il d\u2019Or for Best Documentary at Cannes. It was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlternativa is a not-for-profit org that supports films from the Global South. Having started out as an awards program for films from Central Asia, Alternativa then initiated a full-fledged festival with editions in Indonesia and Colombia.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith our second film slate, we are expanding our global reach to give buyers and audiences access to even more exceptional, high-impact storytelling,\u201d Lavi said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur latest acquisitions have already proven themselves on the world stage \u2013 from a Cannes prize-winner to acclaimed titles featured at Venice and the Berlinale. We\u2019re incredibly proud to represent them and look forward to getting them in front of broadcasters and streaming platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Alternativa Distribution has acquired selected rights to features including Berlin Film Festival opener No Good Men ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[261744,261745,96,261746,261747,71225,261748,2839,261749,41988,56,261750,54,55,10306],"class_list":["post-795954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-alternativa-distribution","tag-elephants-in-the-fog","tag-entertainment","tag-four-daughters","tag-lost-land","tag-mipcom","tag-mipcom-cannes","tag-movies","tag-no-good-men","tag-tv-markets","tag-uk","tag-un-certain-regard","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-venice-film-festival"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
