Acid, a parallel festival festival festival section, has announced its choice of 2025, which consists of nine feature films.
This includes “L’Aventura” written by Sophie Letourneur, Aurélien Vernhes-Ermusiaux “The Black Snake”, “Drifting Laurent” directed by Anton Balekdjian, Lé Couture and Mattéo Eostachon, Lucio Castro “Drunken Noodles,” Peter Cabuta “.
Three documentary films were also chosen, starting with Silvan George “mysterious night – isn’t a child?” Followed by Sepideh Farsi, “Put your soul on your hand and walk” and Namir Abdel Messenger “la vie Après Siham”.
“I am sure that after watching these films, you will not say:” I have already seen it. “Instead, you will say:” What happened just? “Before your interview, I talked to someone and continued to ask:” What is the main topic? “List stories in a different way – this is our only topic,” as Pauline Jenot, a general acid delegate.
“I think it is very precious that movie makers have a place like this at the Cannes Festival. This is important to us, to be a starting point for the independent film. These films are watching by other movie makers. It’s completely different.”
The acid is the Film Manager Association. The programming committee for this year consisted of 14 cinemas: Roman André, Camilla Bildran, Sonia Bin Salama, Bernard Serf, Lana Shermi, Moni Moghalt, Jean Ghassman, Bacal Hayer, Julian Monier, Nicolas Bedouzi, Benit Satyer, Dair Sergen, and Clara Nassi.
“They really participate in watching movies from their peers. This program is completely affected by the desire of filmmakers to tell stories in a different way, to avoid being confined to what we already know and see it already.”
“These chosen directors do not try to” provoke a point. “Instead, there is a strong belief in the tools provided by the cinema, but also a lot of humor and fun.
The acid is keen to discover new sounds, such as the first Lori-Matti Barbie from Finland.
“It’s a good movie about depression. It is very happy to allow people to discover new filmmakers. We are very lucky to be able to do this. There is nothing more fun than telling the world:” Hey, here is the newcomer who made a great movie. ”
There is a space for more than well -known movie makers, such as “Sepideh Versi”, which now offers joint production with Palestine with “Put your soul on your hand and walk.”
“There is always this question: How do we examine a movie about the war at the Cannes Festival, with all these concerts and people who drink champagne? Two years ago, we faced the same dilemma with” in the back vision “about Ukraine. How do you bring the war to the Cannes Festival?” Jenot wondered.
“Also, this film is not only related to Palestine. It relates to a meeting between two women from the Arab world: one is Iranian, and the other is Palestinian. It is related to our own deficit, and what you cannot – cannot – say to someone in the midst of the war. The main hero is still in Gaza.”
Sophie Levernur is scheduled to return with her fifth movie, starring Philip Catherine in the Paris Olympics, which caused her performance as a “blue man” at the opening ceremony.
“It is a film on chaos. It is not a coincidence that Philip is in it. He has already invented a different kind of chaos,” Jenot smiled.
“Instead of just telling a story, and this is true for all of these films, she is trying to invent a new model to re -tell daily
“Drifting Laurent” are also sudden transformations and courses, despite dealing with “very contemporary topics” where the protagonist searches for the meaning of life in the abandoned ski resort.
“It is impossible to know where he takes us,” said Genot, describing the “alcoholic pasta”, written by Lucio Castro as a “fairy tale for adults” and “a dance picnic between Pierre Curton” the prince and “Oz therapist”. With a touch of wonderful.
However, documentaries also deserve their dues. “In France, it is very difficult to show them in theaters. I really want to examine documentaries and animation features, not only imagination. It is all about trying to do something that has not been done before. We just love movies. This is the greatest job in the world. We are lucky because we are doing so.”
