Kristen Stewart’s Camp X-Ray to be distributed by IFC Films

Actress Kristen Stewart’s latest, Camp X-Ray, has been reportedly acquired by IFC Films after it premiered at Sundance Film Festival on January 17. The film distribution company has purchased the North American rights to the film.

Camp X-Ray is based on the provisional confinement facility at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. This film revolves around a friendship tale which blossoms between a lonely military guard (Stewart) and a captive at the prison which confines suspected terrorists in the camp. Written and directed by Peter Sattler, Camp X-Ray features Stewart, Peyman Moaadi, John Carroll Lynch, Lane Garrison and Joseph Julian Soria in pivotal roles. Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, said in a statement, “Peter Sattler has made a stirring, sensitive and thought-provoking film that features two powerhouse performances by Payman Maadi and Kristen Stewart.” He added, “Maadi proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with and Stewart undoubtedly gives the best and most moving performance of her already remarkable career.”
