Mubi has expanded its theatrical distribution partnership with Madman Entertainment, tapping the independent Australian and New Zealand distributor to release five films theatrically across the region, including several award-winners from Cannes and Berlinale.

Madman will first open Jane Schoenbrun’s “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” on August 6 in Australia and August 20 in New Zealand. The film won the Queer Palm at Cannes this year. Schoenbrun, whose credits include “I Saw the TV Glow” and “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair,” wrote and directed the film, which stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson alongside Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Kevin McDonald, Quintessa Swindell and Jack Haven. Plan B produced the film.

Madman will also premiere Paweł Pawlikowski’s “Fatherland,” which premiered in competition at Cannes this year, where Pawlikowski won Best Director. Pawlikowski, known for “Ida” and “Cold War,” wrote the film with Henk Handloegten. The cast includes Sandra Hüller, Hanns Zischler, August Diehl, Devid Striesow and Anna Madeley.

Lukas Dhont’s Cannes in-competition title “Coward” is also part of the deal. Emmanuel Macchia and Valentin Campagne won Best Actor at Cannes for their performances in the film, a World War I drama centered on queer love. Dhont directed and co-wrote the script with Angelo Tijssens. Mubi previously released Dhont’s Oscar-nominated “Close” in select territories.

Completing the list are the Berlinale selections “Rosebush Pruning” and “Rose.” Karim Aïnouz directed “Rosebush Pruning,” which follows a wealthy family navigating privilege, desires and buried secrets. Its cast includes Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, Lukas Gage, Elena Anaya, Tracy Letts, Elle Fanning and Pamela Anderson. Markus Schleinzer directed “Rose,” which he wrote with Alexander Bom, starring Hüller as a woman disguised as a man who arrives at an isolated Protestant village in the early 17th century to claim rights to an abandoned farm. Hüller won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Actress at the Berlinale for this role.
