Match Factory strikes Jarmusch deal

The Match Factory has secured rights to six Jim Jarmusch titles.

The haul includes Permanent Vacation, Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law, Mystery Train, Night on Earth and Dead Man.

“We are proud to handle these masterpieces of one of the greatest contemporary directors” said Michael Weber, managing director of The Match Factory. “It is a delight to have our library grow with Jim Jarmusch.  Jarmusch’s films are timeless, as proven by their ongoing demand and interest“.

“I am so proud to have my films represented by Michael Weber and the Match Factory team, and to be in the company of filmmakers I admire such as Aki Kaurismäki and Fatih Akin,“ added Jarmusch. 

The Match Factory’s AFM slate includes Sam Garbarski’s Vijay And I, David Wnendt’s controversial Wetlands and Soren Kragh-Jacobsen’s The Hour of the Lynx.

The deal was negotiated between Michael Weber and ICM Partners and Stacey Smith on behalf of Jarmusch.
