London-based production and distribution outfit Modern Films and expertly curated global streaming service MUBI have joined forces on the UK and Irish rights for this year's Un Certain Regard top-prize winner BORDER, by Iranian-Danish director Ali Abbasi.
Taken from a short story by LET THE RIGHT ONE IN author John Ajvide Lindqvist, BORDER brilliantly mixes romance, noir, social realism and supernatural horror and is destined to become a cult classic. Impossible to categorise but made for anyone with a love of cinema, the film gives an accurate depiction of what it means to be an outsider in your own world and to fall in love no matter who you are.
They plan to release it around Valentine's Day 2019, as an alternative date movie and through Event Cinema-led previews.
