. Having turned heads with his short films, such as Acid (in the national competition at Clermont-Ferrand in 2018 and in the international competition at this year’s Sundance) and Ses souffles (shortlisted for a nomination for the César Award for Best Short Film in 2016), the director belongs to the first batch of auteurs selected with their feature-length projects to benefit from the CNC’s support scheme in favour of genre films.

The story, written by Jérôme Genevray and Franck Victor, revolves around a single mother who, in order to save her farm from bankruptcy, breeds edible grasshoppers and develops a strange, obsessive relationship with them.

Produced by Thierry Lounas for Capricci Production and by Manuel Chiche for The Jokers Films, The Swarm is being co-produced and has been pre-purchased by Arte France Cinéma.

The French distribution will be handled by Les Bookmakers, while the international sales will be entrusted to Wild Bunch.
