Mad Solutions Takes Arab World Rights to Cannes Critics’ Week Opener ‘Ghost Trail’ and Tribeca-Bound ‘Samia’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Arab distributor Mad Solutions has taken Arab world rights to Cannes Critics' Week opener 'Ghost Trail' and to Tribeca-bound drama 'Samia.'

Cannes Critics’ Week artistic director Ava Cahen has described “Ghost Trail” as a “thrilling sensory film in which French-Tunisian actor Adam Bessa’s subtlety leaves us breathless.” In a separate deal with MK2, Mad Solutions also announced they’ve taken Arab world territories on German-Turkish director Yasemin Şamdereli’s uplifting sports drama “Samia,” which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival’s international narrative competition in June. Mad Solutions and MK2 have previously partnered on Mahamat Saleh Haroun’s “A Season in France,” Roschdy Zem’s dramedy “Our Ties” and Soudade Kaadan’s “Nezouh,” among other standout arthouse titles.
