5 WORLD MARKET PREMIERE In cannes THE PROPAGANDA GAME A film by Alvaro Longoria By the director of Sons of the Clouds North Korea. The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as The Hermit Kingdom for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards to world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war. By the editor of Oliver Stone s The Untold History of The United States, Comandante, Alexandre By the cinematographer of 7 Days in La Havana, La Plaga By the composer of Mama, The Impossible, The Orphanage Produced by Morena Films (Cell 211, Even The Rain, Ma Ma) and Mare Nostrum Productions Spain, France min I English SCREENINgs in cannes Fri. 15 th 2:00 Olympia 4 Mon. 18 th 3:30 Star 4 Fri. 22 nd 12:00 Riviera 3

6 WORLD MARKET PREMIERE In cannes Audience Award NEW James White A film by Josh Mond By the Producers of Afterschool and Martha Marcy May MarlenE With Christopher Abbott (Girls, A Most Violent Year), Golden Globe Nominee Cynthia Nixon (Sex & the City), Scott KiD CuDi Mescudi (Entourage) Knockout performances by Cynthia Nixon and Girls alumnus Christopher Abbott. James White could be considered Mond s Amour, albeit seen through the eyes of a child rather than a spouse. VARIETY No film at Sundance this year hit me with more force emotionally than Josh Mond s James White. Devastating. Abbott is simply phenomenal here. Robert Ebert.com This extraordinarily intimate drama marks an arresting feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond. A viscerally acted drama whose rich visual and sonic textures intensify the plunge into the title character s messy life. The Hollywood Reporter James White is a troubled twentysomething trying to stay afloat in a frenzied New York City. As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother s battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility. With the pressure on him mounting, James must find new reserves of strength or risk imploding completely. Produced by Borderline Films (Afterschool, Martha Marcy May Marlene) USA min English SCREENINgs in cannes Fri. 15 th 12:00 Arcades 2 Tue. 19 th 11:30 Star 3 Standing high above the rest of the films at Sundance this year, Mond s directorial debut is a must-see. Cynthia Nixon is stunning in the role of James mother, generous, unselfconscious and heartbreaking. THE HUFFINGTON POST One of the standouts in this year s Sundance selection. THE GUARDIAN The team behind Simon Killer and Martha Marcy May Marlene deliver one from the heart. James White visits tragically familiar material. Bracingly authentic and unique. LITTLE WHITE LIES

Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disappearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide. There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named The Eternal, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetuous Ma Loute, aged 18. Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts. Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.

10 IN PRODUCTION Upcoming script AVAILABLE News From Planet Mars A film by Dominik Moll By the director of Harry, He s Here to Help With François Damiens (Nominated for the César for Best Actor in La Famille Bélier, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies), Vincent Macaigne (Eden, Tristesse Club, Nominated for the César for Best Upcoming Actor in La Fille du 14 juillet), Veerle Baetens (The Broken Circle Breakdown Winner of the César for Best Foreign Language Film & Oscar Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film 2013) and Léa Drucker (The Blue Room) Philippe Mars is a reasonable man in an unreasonable world. He s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband, a nice colleague, an understanding sibling But the planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately. With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around him is starting to behave more and more erratically When his colleague (who also accidentally tried to chop off his ear in a fit of misplaced anger) moves into Philippe s apartment, things start to go from bad to insane for our hero.

11 IN Post-PRODUCTION Upcoming Marguerite A film by Xavier Giannoli By the director of The Singer (Cannes 2006 In Competition) and In the Beginning (Cannes 2009 In Competition) With Catherine Frot (Haute Cuisine, The Page Turner), André Marcon (Me, Myself and Mum, On the Other Side of the Tracks), Michel Fau (Cyrano de Bergerac, Harry, He s Here to Help, Swimming Pool) and Christa Théret (The Man who Laughs, Renoir) 1921, the beginning of the Golden Twenties. Not far from Paris. It is party day at Marguerite Dumont s castle. Like every year, an array of music lovers gathers around a great cause at the owner s place. Nobody knows much about this woman except that she is rich and that her whole life is devoted to her passion: music. Marguerite sings. She sings wholeheartedly, but she sings terribly out of tune. In ways quite similar to the Castafiore, Marguerite has been living her passion in her own bubble, and the hypocrite audience, always coming in for a good laugh, acts as if she was the diva she believes she is. When a young, provocative journalist decides to write a rave article on her latest performance, Marguerite starts to believe even further in her talent. This gives her the courage she needs to follow her dream. Despite her husband s reluctance, and with the help of a has-been divo, both funny and mean, she decides to train for her first recital in front of a crowd of complete strangers. Produced by FIDÉLITÉ FILMS (Little Nicholas, ON MY WAY) Co-produced by France 3 Cinéma, SIRENA FILM (THE BEST OFFER, A ROYAL AFFAIR) AND SCOPE PICTURES FRANCE, CZECH REPUBLIC, BELGIUM DELIVERY: SUMMER 2015 Budget: 7,5 MILLION EUROS

Poland min Polish A quirky, intriguing drama with supernatural overtones sees Polish director Malgorzata Szumowska shift into an unexpected, and refreshing, darkly comic mode. Body is fresh and original. SCREENDAILY A darkly comic rumination on what it means to be alive. VARIETY Szumowska employs her clever writing and camera work in a new intense human subject: the body as a link between the soul and the world. CINEUROPA Performances are strong from all three principals, and promising newcomer Suwala is especially memorable. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER A pair of ten-year-olds discover an abandoned cop car in a field. When they take it for a joyride they don t know that a small town sheriff will soon be on their trail to recover his car and what s inside its trunk The kids find themselves in the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse and the only way out is to go as fast as their stolen cop car can take them. Produced by AUDAX FILMS, PARK PICTURES (INFINITELY POLAR BEAR, ROBOT & FRANK) AND DARK ARTS FILMS USA min English A tight, easily marketable genre exercise that pushes its lean premise and all-around disrespect for authority to entertaining extremes. VARIETY The brisk 86 minutes fly by, keeping the story as lean and efficient as possible. The premise delivers on its entertaining potential with plenty of thrilling and often very funny surprises. INDIEWIRE Kevin Bacon, sporting a creepy moustache, is great, and both boys give strong, naturalistic performances. Cop Car also marks Watts as a director to watch. THE GUARDIAN This film stands with the best of Americana independent genre films like Mud, Shotgun Stories, Badlands and Blue Ruin as well as the best of early Spielberg. An instant Americana genre film classic. SOUND ON SIGHT A cult classic waiting to happen. Cop Car is a damn awesome movie. TWITCH
