Oscar Winner ‘No Other Land’ Finds Middle East Distribution via Front Row: ‘We Have a Duty to Make Sure It Reaches Audiences’
Oscar-winning doc 'No Other Land' has found MENA distribution via Front Row, whose chief says: 'We have a duty to make sure it reaches audiences.'
Oscar-winning documentary “ No Other Land ” has found a distributor in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where it is bound to have special resonance. The doc, chronicling the gradual demolition of Palestinian houses and villages in the Masafer Yatta region of the West Bank by Israeli military bulldozers, scored the best documentary prize at last year’s Berlin Film Festival — where it debuted — and went on to play widely on the fest circuit, winning a slew of other awards prior to the Oscar. Though “No Other Land,” following it’s Berlin launch in 2024, was sold by Autlook to dozens of territories — including the United Kingdom and France — it has struggled to find a home in both the U.S., where it has been self-released by the filmmakers with bookings facilitated by mTuckman Media, and, until now, in the MENA region where distributors tend to steer clear of politically sensitive fare.
