Vue Lumière has topped up its UK-Ireland distribution slate with the acquisitions of Nadia Fall’s Brides.
The distributor will release Brides in September. Bankside Films handles international sales.
Brides is the debut feature from 2023 Screen UK-Ireland Star of Tomorrow Nadia Fall, and premiered in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at Sundance this year.
Written by Suhayla El-Bushra, Brides is produced by Nicky Bentham for the UK’s Neon Films with Marica Stocchi for Italy’s Rosamont. Set in 2014, it follows two teenage girls who run away from their troubled lives in a British seaside town with a risky plan of travelling to Syria. Ebada Hassan and Safiyya Ingar lead the cast.
The film was developed with the BFI and supported by the BFI and Ffilm Cymru Wales. Additional supporters include the Welsh Government via Creative Wales, Great Point Media, the Italian Ministry of Culture Minority Co-production Fund, Friuli Venezia Giulia Audiovisual regional fund and Rai Cinema.
