The Match Factory has announced a slate of international distribution deals for All That’s Left of You, the Sundance title by Cherien Dabis, which is set to have its European premiere this July in the Special Screenings section at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

The film celebrated its world premiere in January in the Premieres section of the Sundance Film Festival. The Match Factory has closed deals in key territories including Italy (Officine UBU), Spain (Karma Films), Benelux (September Film Distribution), Switzerland (trigon-film), Turkey (Bir Film), Latin America (Cine Canibal), and Indonesia (PT Falcon).

Distribution in Germany and Austria has been secured independently with X Verleih, while French rights have been acquired by Nour Films.

The “searing, honest and soul-crushing” (Variety) third feature film from Palestinian-American filmmaker Cherien Dabis is a “moving tale that effectively blends the personal and the political” (Screen International) while being “beautifully textured and deeply moving” (The Guardian).
