Hedi tells the story of a young man about to go through a wedding arranged by his mother. But along the way he realizes he’s been living his life repressed for too long.

This critically acclaimed debut film by Mohamed Ben Attiaare is co-produced by the Dardenne brothers. The film is acquired from Luxbox for Scandinavia, Iceland and the Baltics. Arthaus has already come onboard as the theatrical distributor in Norway.

“Hedi is an impressive first film, a well deserved winner in Berlin and we are delighted to work with Luxbox in releasing Hedi across the Nordic region”, says Ignas Scheynius, Chairman of the Board at Edge Entertainment.

Hedi will premiere in the territory in early 2017.

Edge has acquired Valley of love for Scandinavia and Iceland.

Edge is also excited to announce the recent acquisitions of Return to Ithaca (Funny Ballons) by Laurent Cantet for the Scandinavian and Icelandic market and 10 000 KM (Visit Film) by Carlos Marques-Marcet, who recently received a Goya for Best New Director.

Ignas Scheynius, the Chairman of the Board for Edge stated: “We are thrilled to have secured the rights to the two most high profile docs from Sundance as well as the new doc by the team who brought us Senna. Edge Entertainment had a great first year and we look forward to an even better 2015.”

Lucy Mulloy’s fantastic debut, Una Noche, is now available to rent through Triart Film. Triart film is a curated VOD platform that selects the best arthouse and independent features for users to rent. Triart’s curators have praised the documentary-like realism, backed up by the fact that two of the film’s leads defected to the US during a visit to a US-based film festival.

Lucy Mulloy’s acclaimed drama Una Noche is now available for rent and purchase through iTunes. See the film that Variety’s Justin Chang described as a “sexy, pulsing debut.”

The first is the latest from Palm d’Or winner Laurent Cantet, the acclaimed drama Return to Ithaca (Swedish title Himmel över Havanna). It tells the story of five friends who meet on a terrace overlooking Havana to celebrate the return of a friend from a 16-year self imposed exile. The tension rises as regret and buried frustration rises throughout the evening. A touching drama, with Havana’s unique milieu in the center.

We are also proud to present 10.000 KM, the feature debut of Carlos Marques-Marcet, starring Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones, Harry Potter). Centered on the couple Alex and Sergei, as they embark upon a year-long long-distance relationship as Alex gets the opportunity to work on her art in Los Angeles. Left in Spain Alex gets frustrated and it becomes clear that the technology that is supposed to bring them closer to each other might very well tear them apart.

Calin Netzer’s Golden Bear winning Child’s Pose will arrive to Swedish theaters on January 30th. The film will open in Stockholm, Malmö, Uppsala and Västerås.
