Front Row Filmed Entertainment, a prominent distributor based in Dubai, is set to kick off the international rerelease of the acclaimed Brazilian crime drama, 'City of God.' This marks the first time the 2002 film will be shown theatrically in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Front Row has partnered with Paris-based distributor, The Festival Agency, for the rerelease, having acquired the rights from Wild Bunch.
The decision to bring 'City of God' to the MENA region is significant, as it signifies Front Row's commitment to rereleasing classic and cult films in Saudi Arabia, particularly where these films have never been shown in theaters before. After lifting the 35-year-old ban on moviegoing in 2018, Saudi Arabia has emerged as the top theatrical market in the region.
