The Match Factory has acquired international sales rights to German filmmaker Türker Süer's "Edge of Night," and has debuted a clip from the film (above). The film will make its world premiere in the Horizons Extra section of the Venice Film Festival, and its North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

The film centers on Sinan, a young lieutenant in the Turkish army, who is asked to extradite his brother Kenan to a military court. Burdened by the tragic death of their father, the brothers embark on a journey through a country marked by political unrest. As they confront their convictions, Sinan’s convictions are put to the ultimate test on the night of the coup. In a country where the state demands absolute loyalty, the brothers must decide if they are willing to make the sacrifices required by their duty and conscience.
