Cannes Days 6-7: A24 Buys «Club Kid», Korean Horror Conquers Midnight Session

The Cannes Film Festival continues to demonstrate how global cinema trends are determined and important business deals are concluded. On the sixth and seventh days of the festival, events occurred that attracted industry attention.

Distributor A24, known for its focus on auteur and independent cinema, acquired the distribution rights to the «Club Kid» project. This confirms that A24 continues to actively invest in niche projects that can become a cultural phenomenon among viewers seeking an unusual cinematic experience.

Particular attention was drawn to a South Korean horror film that made a strong impression at the festival's midnight session. This section of Cannes is traditionally reserved for experimental and genre cinema, and the success of the Korean film confirms the growing influence of Asian cinema on the global film industry.

For Russian actors and directors, these events demonstrate that the Cannes Film Festival remains a key platform for finding financing and distributors. Projects that receive support from major distributors at Cannes often get wide theatrical releases and find their audience around the world.
