We're very happy to announce one more acquisition ahead of Cannes 2023: LET ME GO by Maxime Rappaz, which will world premiere as the opening film of the Cannes ACID sidebar.
French actress Jeanne Balibar stars in the lead role of Claudine, an elegant woman in her early 50s, who, although living a traditional life, pursues her desires in an unconventional way.
A regular on the Croisette and a well-known figure of French cinema, Balibar won the César Best Actress prize for her lead role in Cannes Un Certain Regard title “Barbara,” directed by Mathieu Amalric (2017), and has starred in award-winning films including “Cold War,” “Les Misérables” and “Memoria.” The film is shot by acclaimed DoP Benoît Dervaux, long-standing collaborator of the Dardenne brothers.
We are honored and humbled to announce that POWER ALLEY has been awarded the prestigious Fipresci Prize at the Cannes FF! The International Film Critics have spoken, and their words resonate deeply with our film's powerful message. "Combined with compelling performances, vibrant editing, engaging music, and a thrilling narrative, this film is making the point that abortion rights are human rights."
Best International Feature Award for BIGMAN! "Friendship, acceptance, and courage are key words in this story about a young boy whose life is turned upside down over night. Is it possible to pursue your passion when the preconditions are changed?
This film deserves a long life in the cinemas and should be screened to all kids at schools across the country.
Our unanimous thumbs up goes to the life-affirming film BIGMAN from the Netherlands, directed by Camiel Schouwenaar" the jury
In her debut feature, the director tells the story of a reunion between a twelve-year-old girl and her father who has a criminal record, with a great attention to detail and strong characters. With strong atmospheric images, we are immersed in a harsh brutal world where family is struggled for. We accompany the protagonists in a sensitive way as they grow up on both sides. Intelligently, an ending is told with an unexpected twist that opens up new perspectives.
The jury prize goes to Wild Roots by Hajni Kis." the jury of the KIKIFE International Children's FF 2023
