Directors sound alarm over collective agreement for crew that has plunged financially fragile auteur cinema into turmoil
French auteur cinema has been plunged into turmoil over a new collective labour agreement for the film industry. The heated debate is destroying the ties that have held together a sector that, while fragile, was always united in its desire to make films, come what may. Now grips, electricians, dressers, assistant directors, producers and cameramen alike are split into pro and anti camps, the dominant attitude being "tell me if you're for or against the agreement, and I'll tell you if I'll speak to you or insult you".
The collective labour agreement for crew in the French film industry was signed in January 2012 by most of the technicians' unions and four industry heavyweights, Gaumont, Pathé, Ugc and MK2. The aim was to regulate a profession that has never been included in French labour laws,...

High time to round up the films at this year's Cannes Film Festival that never saw entries of their own and send them on their way. Today: Un Certain Regard.
"Bakur Bakuradze's The Hunter seems like a ficticious version of Raymond Depardon's Modern Life, a trilogy on farming that was screened in Cannes in 2008," finds Moritz Pfeifer, who also interviews the director for the East European Film Bulletin. "With no soundtrack, no professional actors, little dialogue and a minimalist plot, the film depicts the daily life of Ivan (Mikhail Barskovich) as he peacefully runs his pig farm in one of the less populous areas of northwestern Russia…. Clearly, Bakuradze wants to depict an alternative world, and the spirit of his film is more utopian than its hyper-realistic images suggest."
Grumbles the Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt: "There is maybe 10 to 15 minutes of actual story located within this 124 minute slog,...
