You Will Die at Twenty – Pyramide Intl.

Variety reports that distributor Film Movement has acquired North American rights to Amjad Abu Alala’s feature debut “You Will Die at Twenty,” which marks Sudan’s first ever official Oscar submission.

The deal calls for Film Movement to give the work a theatrical rollout via virtual cinema in 2021, followed by a release on home entertainment and digital platforms.

The film, which is only the eighth narrative feature film to be made in Sudan, follows Muzamil, whose death at age 20 is prophesied on the day of his birth by a traveling sheik. Growing up with his mother, Sakina, in a small village under the constant loom of death, the young boy becomes increasingly curious about what it means to live beyond his mother’s confines.

The film has already won several awards on the festival circuit, including the Lion of the Future for best debut film at the Venice Film Festival in 2019, the Golden Star at the El Gouna Film Festival and the Grand Prix Award in the international competition at the Fribourg International Film Festival.

Watch the film’s trailer, and an interview with the cast and crew below:
