She won a number of awards for her previous “Man on the Chair” and “The Empty”, both a contemplation over the difference between the visible world and our interior world.

The 2019 Driectors’ Fortnight lineup has been revealed, bringing with it new works from “The Witch” director Robert Eggers, Bertrand Bonello, Rebecca Zlotowski, and Takashi Miike. Fortnight is closely associated with the Cannes Film Festival although it is technically its own event that runs parallel to Cannes. Fortnight is celebrating its 51st year in 2019. The festival sidebar has been a launching pad for directors such as Spike Lee, Jim Jarmsuch, and more over the years.
One of the biggest titles set to world premiere is “The Lighthouse,” writer-director Eggers’ first feature since his Sundance horror breakout “The Witch.” For his latest directorial effort, Eggers has cast Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe for a fantasy horror based on old seafarer myths. The movie was shot in black and white and is backed by A24, who picked up last year’s Directors’ Fortnight favorite “Climax.” Another high profile premiere is “The Staggering Girl,...

The Stockholm International Film Festival (Nov 5-16) is to present its Achievement Award to Us actress Uma Thurman.
The Kill Bill star will will visit Stockholm to receive the prestigious Bronze Horse and meet the audience during an exclusive “Face2Face”.
Thurman will also take part in the inauguration ceremony, which will include the unveiling of an ice sculpture by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
Weiwei was a Stockholm jury member last year but since he wasn’t allowed to leave China, he sent an empty chair named ”The Chair for Non-attendance” as symbol of his absence.
He is still not allowed to leave China so will send a design that will be portrayed in the form of a large ice sculpture symbolising this years’ Spotlight theme - Hope.

Earlier this month at the 2014 Annecy International Animated Film Festival, the Brazilian feature "The Boy and the World" earned the top honors from both the jury and the audience. Cineuropa recently published a piece on this film and the festival. We have reprinted the article below or you can see the original version Here
Annecy crowns Brazilian film The Boy and the World
by Fabien Lemercier
The Cristal for a Feature Film and the Audience Award at the 38th Annecy International Animated Film Festival (see the article ) have gone to Brazilian film "The Boy and the World" (O menino e o mundo), by Alê Abreu, which will be distributed in France on 8 October by Les Films du Préau. The Jury Award was given to the American feature "Cheatin'" , and the Jury Distinction was bestowed upon the Japanese title "Giovanni no Shima."
European production caught up when it came to the short-film competition, which gave the top prize to "Man on the Chair" by Dahee Jeong, a co-production between France (Sacrebleu Productions) and South Korea. The Jury Award was given to the German-Swiss short "Patch" by Gerd Gockell, while the Franco-Swiss co-production "Hasta Santiago" by Mauro Carraro won the Jean-Luc Xiberras Award for a First Film and the Sacem Award for Original Music. Lastly, the jury awarded two Distinctions, including to La testa tra le nuvole by Italy’s Roberto Catani. For its part, the audience gave its prize to "La petite casserole d'Anatole" by French director Eric Montchaud Also of note in the graduation-film competition was the triumph of "The Bigger Picture" by Daisy Jacobs ( Nfts - National Film and Television School).
The Cnc made good use of the Mifa (International Animation Film Market) to unveil a study on French animation that, among other things, particularly confirmed the genre’s international potential. It highlighted the fact that 13 French animated films have taken over one million admissions abroad over the last decade; during this period, French productions in the animated genre recorded 54.7% of their admissions outside the country’s borders. At the French box office, animation is also still a safe bet (representing 5% of the previously unreleased films that came out in 2013 and 14.4% of takings).
On the other hand, it’s orange alert on the production side of things, with a mere six French animated features approved in 2013 (as against 12 in 2012). The French animation producers’ union, Syndicat des producteurs français d’animation, particularly underlined the fall in the investment made by TV channels and would like to see, among other things, an increase in the tax credit in order to give a break to a genre that is more expensive to produce than live-action fiction (with an average budget of €11.97 million for a French animated feature, as against €5.23 million for a French production in all genres combined). Lastly, the inclusion of a reduced rate of €4 for the under-14s by the country’s movie theatres, which has been in place since the start of 2014 (see news), is still the subject of heated debate, with certain distributors maintaining that the reduced takings are not offset by the increase in attendance levels for that age group, which could, in the future, have an impact on the total number of commitments they make to French animation productions.

Bruno Dumont finds a special place on the croisette to premiere his latest work (his television mini-series Li’l Quinquin) and Frederick Wiseman makes another appearance in the section with London Museum bliss in National Gallery as the 2014 edition of the Directors’ Fortnight is low of first time works (only three) and filled with renowned auteurs. Rumored as a possible Main Comp entry, it is the hotly anticipated Bande De Files from Céline Sciamma that will open the section which will be book-ended by what could be a feel-good The Full Monty type in Matthew Warchus’ Pride. Starring Bill Nighy, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton, this 1984 Margaret Thatcher set drama sees gay and lesbian activists support the families of National Union of Mineworkers and thus form to a surprising partnership. Also on the English side, Ken Loach and Mike Leigh will have some company in John Boorman, Queen and Country...
