Sundance 2024: Netflix Buys ‘Ibelin,’ Documentary About Late Norwegian Gamer, in One of Festival’s First Sales
Netflix has acquired "Ibelin," a documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
Benjamin Ree (“The Painter and the Thief”) directed the film, which centers on a Norwegian gamer named Mats Steen, who died of a degenerative muscle disease at the age of 25.
