in 2018 and Eugène Green’s Faire la parole in 2017), the company is also making its name in production, an area where it cuts its teeth working on some twenty short films (among them Ayce Kartal’s Vilaine Fille, winner of the 2019 César), for which it won the 2019 Prix France Télévisions for Young Producer.

, directed by Matías Ganz and produced by Uruguayan company Nadador Cine, with Argentine company Le Tiro as co-producers. The film centres of Mario and Silvia, a couple struggling with the trauma of retirement when, one day, their house is burglarised, an event which throws them into a downward spiral of insecurity and paranoia that will lead them and their family to a bloody end…

At IDFA (20 November - 1 December), another production by Les Valseurs (together with Burkinabè company Brand Image – Etalons films) will have its world premiere in the Frontlight section: After Your Revolt, Your Vote! by Kiswendsida Parfait Kaboré.

, from Italian director Carlo Sironi. Revealed in Venice in the Orizzonti section before its international premiere in the Discovery programme in Toronto, Sole has recently won the Best Film awards at the Montpellier Mediterranean Film Festival and at the Villerupt Italian Film Festival. "We acquired it just after Toronto from Luxbox", Damien Megherbi tells us. "It is the feature debut of a filmmaker we were following, a film which stands out for its formal mastery and for the emotions it creates." Another great addition in distribution: smart comedy Smuggling Hendrix [+lee también:
