The film, which marks Rediance\u2019s first documentary acquisition, will receive its world premiere as the opening film of this year\u2019s International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA, November 14-25). Produced by Jia Zhao, a Chinese, Netherlands-based producer, the film follows a bus driver and two brothers through the war-torn streets of Kabul.<\/p>\n

Rediance will also handle festival sales on Chinese filmmaker Li Zheng\u2019s Jose, a US-Guatemalan production, which won the Queer Lion at this year\u2019s Venice film festival<\/strong>.

\u201cWith these two new acquisitions, Rediance is expanding its library internationally,\u201d said Rediance co-founder and CEO Meng Xie. \u201cWe will continue working with local filmmakers to bring the finest arthouse Chinese films to the international market. Meanwhile, we are expanding our network to collaborate with Chinese talents overseas and more talents in Asia and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
