Oscar-Winning 'No Other Land' Sets U.S. Digital Self-Release for Oct. 20 After Rejecting Mubi Deal

Filmmakers cite Mubi’s Sequoia backing as incompatible with the film’s subject, pledging all VOD revenue to support Masafer Yatta.

Overview

  • Digital rentals and purchases open October 20 on Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play and YouTube, with preorders available on Apple.
  • The team says it walked away from a negotiated pact with Mubi due to Sequoia Capital’s investment and Sequoia’s links to Israeli defense tech startup Kela.
  • All proceeds from the U.S. VOD release will go directly to community needs in Masafer Yatta, including water, electricity and education.
  • Mubi has licensed the film in select European territories, including Italy and Germany, via local distributors.
  • The documentary, created by a PalestinianIsraeli collective, was self-released theatrically, took about $2.5 million in the U.S. and $3.6 million worldwide, and its collaborators report escalating risks such as the brief abduction of co-director Hamdan Ballal and the killing of consultant Awdah Hathaleen.
