Colcoa Increases Profile as Networking Hub

9 April 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

City of Lights, City of Angels, L.A.’s annual French film showcase, has always been about maintaining a bridge between Hollywood and Paris. As such, the weeklong event has doubled as one continuous networking opportunity for a certain segment of the biz, and for the 17th edition, it’s even more so.

“Up until now we mostly focused on distributors and we realized that there was a gap we needed to fill as more American producers are looking for new talent, co-production opportunities, or are just eager to learn more about how business in done in France,” says Francois Truffart, the fest’s exec producer and artistic director. “Colcoa has become a good place to scout for remakes, we hope it can also give birth to co-productions going forward.”

This year’s featured producer is Les Films des Tournelles founder Anne-Dominique Toussaint, who boasts two entries at this year »

More French Academy Award Winners: Gays in the '70s, Benguigui, Costner's 'Fabulous Contributions' to Film

23 February 2013 4:23 AM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Hollywood's Costner takes home Honorary Award Speaking of Hollywood, the French Academy has frequently given its Honorary César (an equivalent to the Lifetime Achievement Award) to some curious group of Hollywood celebrities. Among those are Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Quentin Tarantino, Hugh Grant, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Spike Lee, Andie McDowell, and Sylvester Stallone. This year, they've made another curious choice: Kevin Costner, whose Honorary Award was a tribute to his "fabulous contribution to cinematic history." Costner, among whose movie credits as actor and/or director are Dances with Wolves, Bull Durham, JFK, The Bodyguard, The Postman, and Waterworld, thanked the French Academy of Film Arts and Sciences for embracing him "for who I am." Other César winners Among this year's other César winners were, in the supporting categories, Valérie Benguigui and Guillaume de Tonquédec for What's in a Name? / Le Prénom, directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patelliere. »
