‘Machan’ picked up for screening in seven countries

Uberto Pasolini’s ‘Machan’ has been picked up for distribution in seven European countries, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Canada, Belgium, Norway and Sweden.

The movie began its commercial run in Germany from May 8 in seven cinemas. That was the film’s second European release following its theatrical release in Italy last September.

After its run in Germany, ‘Machan’ will commercially run in France, being distributed by UGC. The film, co-written by Pasolini and Sri Lankan playwright Ruwanthie de Chickera, stars a host of names from Sri Lankan film, television and theatre, including Dharmapriya Dias, Mahendra Perera, Gihan de Chickera, Sujeewa Priyalal, Dharshan Dharmaraj, Dayadeva Edirisinghe, Saumaya Liyanage and Jayani Senanayake.

‘Machan’ had a successful run in Sri Lanka and has won accolades across the world, including last year’s Venice Film Festival, where the movie was given a 10-minute standing ovation. It was also screened successfully in Pune and Kerala in India. More recently, it won best picture at the Palm Beach Film Festival in Florida.
