The 9 Best Undistributed Movies of 2024
Indiewire - Dec 18th, 2024
The year 2024 was considered a notable year for movies, though it could have been enhanced by the release of several promising films seen on the festival circuit in the United States. Some films, such as a lengthy documentary on the last independent TV station in Russia and the acclaimed 'No Other Land,' have not been distributed in the U.S., likely due to niche appeal and potential financial concerns. Others, like Noémie Merlant's 'The Balconettes' and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 'Cloud,' remain inexplicably without distribution. Despite these challenges, there is optimism that these films will eventually find an audience in the U.S., with hopes for an even more exciting slate of releases in 2025.
