‘County Lines’ Director Henry Blake, Ukraine’s Oleh Sentsov, Austria’s Sandra Wollner To Present Projects At Les Arcs Coproduction Village
15.11.2022 - 11:39 / deadline.com
France’s Les Arcs Film Festival has unveiled the 18 European feature film projects due to be presented in the 14th edition of its Les Arcs Coproduction Village, running December 10 to 13 against the backdrop of the French Alps.
The meeting, aimed at connecting projects with co-producers, financiers, sales agents and distributors, received 311 submissions this year, 40% more than in 2021.
Hailing from 13 territories, seven of the projects are helmed by female filmmakers, and 11 by men, a proportion equal to the applications received for the Coproduction Village.
Nine of them are first features, six are second features and three are by more established filmmakers.
They include U.K. director Henry Blake’s The Golden Radiance Of A Beetle, his second feature after buzzy debut County Lines. The 1919-set drama follows an English woman who falls in love with a Chinese docker and then metamorphosizes into a beetle due to societal hatred.
Ukrainian director Oleh Sentsov will attend with Kai, a project inspired by his own difficult life experiences, which he began developing prior to his 2014-2019 detention by Russian authorities.
Austrian filmmaker Sandra Wollner, whose second feature The Trouble With Being Born won the Special Jury Prize in Berlin’s Encounters sidebar in 2020, will present her third feature Everytime, about the tangled relationship between the mother of a dead teenager and the girl’s first great love.
From Spain, Júlia De Paz Solvas will present Fed Up, which expands on her 2021 short of the same name, exploring domestic violence from a child’s point of view. De Paz Solvas’s debut feature Ama, a gritty drama about a homeless, young, single mother, won best film at the Malaga Spanish Film Festival in 2021.
