“Extinction,” the Malaysian-produced animation that is playing at the Shanghai International Film Festival, has struck its first international rights sales deals.
The film was recently picked up by All Rights Entertainment, the Paris, Hong Kong and Los Angeles-based sales agency. All Rights has subsequently licensed the title to Magic Film for the CIS region, to Dazzler Media for the U.K., to Red Cape Distribution for Israel and to Bir Film for Turkey.
Directed by Behnooud Nekooei and produced by Magic Picture Films (“Elephant King”), “Extinction” had its world premiere earlier this month at the Annecy Animation Festival in France. It enjoys its Asian premiere this week as part of the animation section of Shanghai’s Film Panorama section.
