Radu Jude's Award-Winning 'Kontinental '25' Secures North American Distribution Through 1-2 Special

The newly launched distributor acquires its first film, an existential black comedy exploring Romania's housing crisis, after its Berlinale premiere.

1-2 Special, a New York-based distribution company, has acquired North American rights to Radu Jude's latest film, 'Kontinental '25.'
The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, winning the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay under a jury led by Todd Haynes.
'Kontinental '25' is an existential black comedy set in Transylvania, following a bailiff dealing with the moral complexities of evicting a homeless man.
Radu Jude, a celebrated Romanian filmmaker, is known for his provocative works like 'Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn,' which won the Berlinale Golden Bear in 2021.
This marks the first acquisition for 1-2 Special, a company focused on releasing bold, boundary-pushing films from visionary directors.
