Daniel Goldhaber’s ‘Faces Of Death’ Set to Close Edinburgh’s Midnight Madness Strand as Signature Entertainment Wins UK and Ireland Title

The Daniel Goldhaber feature, starring Barbie Ferreira and Charli xcx, will make its UK and Ireland premiere at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival, serving as the closing night film for the festival’s Midnight Madness section.

Daniel Goldhaber’s latest feature, Faces Of Death, has been selected to close Edinburgh International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness strand, with the festival set to show the film as its end-of-programming title, according to Deadline. The pick positions the film as a high-profile late-night event for the festival’s more experimental, genre-leaning programming track.

Deadline reports that Signature Entertainment has acquired the UK and Ireland title rights for Faces Of Death, marking the distributor’s planned role in bringing the film to audiences across Britain and Ireland. The agreement means Signature Entertainment will handle the UK and Ireland release of the film following its festival unveiling.

The film’s UK premiere is scheduled to take place at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival, tying the rights acquisition to the festival calendar. Midnight Madness, which runs as a distinct strand within EIFF, will use Faces Of Death to close out its program, according to the report.

Faces Of Death stars Barbie Ferreira, known for her work on Euphoria, and Charli xcx, who appears in the film as part of its cast, Deadline said. The collaboration links mainstream television recognition with a major contemporary music artist, a pairing that can broaden the film’s attention beyond festival audiences.

Deadline’s report frames the deal as part of the film’s path from production to distribution, with Signature Entertainment stepping in for UK and Ireland after the film’s selection at EIFF. The distributor acquisition is also significant for festival follow-through, since it can shape how quickly audiences in the UK and Ireland can move from a premiere screening to broader release plans.

The Edinburgh International Film Festival typically publicizes screening schedules closer to the event, but Deadline’s reporting establishes the key programming role for the film and the rights territory for Signature Entertainment. For viewers, the practical next step is confirming the exact screening time and theater placement once EIFF releases its final lineup for the Midnight Madness strand.

For the film industry, the acquisition highlights how UK and Ireland rights often turn on festival performance and programming visibility. Signature Entertainment’s involvement also indicates that the distributor expects the film to travel well with genre-focused festival audiences before transitioning into a wider market release strategy in its territory.

Why It Matters

  • The Midnight Madness closing slot can increase visibility for Faces Of Death and affect audience attention during the festival’s final screenings.
  • UK and Ireland distribution rights acquisition by Signature Entertainment clarifies who will market and release the film in those territories.
  • Linking the UK premiere to an established festival platform can help the film reach both niche festival audiences and broader media coverage.
  • Scheduling and venue details for the closing screening will determine when audiences can first experience the film in the UK and Ireland.
