Cairo-based film marketing and distribution outfit Mad Solutions has acquired rights for Arab territories to three films that celebrated their premieres this year at the Cannes and Venice film festivals.
The deals include Fyzal Boulifa’s “The Damned Don’t Cry,” which bowed in the Venice Days sidebar at the Italian fest and will have its Middle East and North Africa premiere at Marrakech before traveling to Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival.

A Boy’s Best Friend is His Mother: Boulifa Explores Complex Symbiosis in Mother-Son Drama
Although it’s cribbing the title of a 1950 Joan Crawford starrer, Fyzal Boulifa’s sophomore film The Damned Don’t Cry (Les damnés ne pleurent pas) is hardly as melodramatic as such a reference suggests. Somewhat of a surprising affair for contemporary Moroccan cinema considering its blunt preoccupations with the realities of sexuality suppressed by cultural and religious attitudes, it’s also exceptionally acted from its two lead performers, each making their acting debut as a mother and son pair of outcasts whose mutual support for one another allowed them to survive.…...
