CFF2024 Opening Film Announced

4eedb80e-22f7-aa17-e0cb-51404cebe126.png
A film celebrating tenacious, bold female characters, AND ON THE EIGHTH DAY, is an exploration of love, legacy, and greed that flips the heist and western genre on its head by telling the story through the female gaze. Set in West Texas in 1994, the town of Valentine is a character in itself. When two men from Chicago travel to West Texas to find thief, Landon Mooney and bring back the stolen $150,000, they get more than they bargained for. They meet Eve, a young woman desperate to get out of town and find Landon Mooney. When Landon tells them the money is gone, a plan is hatched to rob the local check cashing place, where all hell breaks loose.

Sweeping Cinematic Tour-de-Force The Count Of Monte Cristo to Screen Closing Night of the Festival
 
The American French Film Festival (TAFFF) will bookend it’s 28th annual edition with two of France’s most-talked-about films this awards season: Emilia Pérez, the Opening Night film, and The Count of Monte Cristo, which will wrap up the six-day event that runs October 29 to November 3 at the Director’s Guild of America Theatre Complex. The announcement was made today by The Franco-American Cultural Fund (FACF), the originator of The American French Film Festival.
 
Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, a genre defying musical drama about love and redemption, will be celebrated at The American French Film Festival with a gala, red-carpet Opening Night screening on October 29, presented in association with Netflix. Written and directed by Jacques Audiard, the film was the toast of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, earning the four actresses - Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz - a collective “Best Actress” award. The film will be rerun on October 30 at the Festival.
 
The period drama The Count of Monte Cristo, France’s most-expensive film of 2024, will be the Closing Night film, November 3. Written and directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, the film had its world premiere as part of the Official Selection of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
 
Both films will compete for the 2024 TAFFF Awards, which will be awarded during a ceremony held in Paris on November 8.

Love and poverty, betrayal and wealth - centuries of traditions put to the test! A compelling story intricately woven into a comprehensive exploration of women’s status against the backdrop of the Roma culture. From the director of an award-winning film in Cannes 2023.

“I worked in Cannes with Emir Kusturica as his Sony Distributor on his brilliant award winning film: “Time of The Gypsies”: when I read the script for “Lala, my redhead” I immediately saw the connection and the potential of a unique story: I trust you will like it too. “

WARRIOR SPIRIT by Will George, 44 mins, CANADA, 2023
A CBC DOCS Original Documentary Film by PROTECT THE INLET FILMS and COEXISTENCE FILMS


Poster%20V6_1080x1350.jpg

A simple window washer and fisherman, Will George’s life transformed when Tsleil-Waututh Elders chose him to protect his Nation's lands and waters against the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX). Will challenges leaders like Justin Trudeau, striving to halt the threat Canada imposed on stolen land. There is a traditional story of a threat like TMX. The voice of Elder Xwechtaal narrates the beginning of the Two-headed Serpent story. As pipeline construction advances and protests escalate, Will intensifies efforts, ultimately facing criminal charges. Despite courtroom racism, he advocates for his people and territory. Returning to the Two-headed Serpent story, the Warrior grapples with people’s doubts, and his own. Will urges people to stand up against injustice and criminalization of Indigenous peoples for protecting lands and waters.

Wild Genius by Susan Kucera (Living in the future's past, Hot Money, 12th hour...)
Social impact documentary on evolutionary biologist Robert Travis,  1h:12minutes USA December 2023

Wild Genius portrays the exceptional life, career and mental health challenges of living legend Robert Trivers, the evolutionary biologist TIME magazine named as “one of the greatest scientists of the 20th Century”. Harvard psychologist and best selling Author, Steven Pinker calls him “an under-appreciated genius, and one of history’s greatest thinkers in the analysis of behavior and emotion.” An advocate for civil rights, Trivers’ straightforward logic makes an empowering case: understanding our evolutionary past isn't a life sentence but a liberating force.  Wild Genius is an entertaining and intellectual odyssey that challenges us to confront our evolutionary roots and societal taboos, daring us to think differently about ourselves and our place in the natural world. This isn't just the story of a groundbreaking scientist; it's an invitation to transform our understanding of life itself. We have the cognitive tools to know ourselves better and, by extension, to make a better world.

Une BD en libaririe le 11 octobre͏‌ ͏‌: 25 ans de festivals de cinéma vus depuis la scène & les coulisses

 

UBbR_iaqCDrX.jpg?u=WtVElij8PJZGcPbYZWk0SpmcBc1k8dXR


LE PRÉSENTATEUR

Une bande dessinée de David Rault

En librairie le 11 octobre

Préface de Patrice Leconte


Projections, photos, discours, interviews, palmarés, remerciements... c’est à travers les médias que le grand public survole les festivals de cinéma et en attrape un peu de magie et de paillettes.


David Rault n’est pas différent, les yeux écarquillés face aux légendes. Sauf que lui, il est sur scène. C’est le présentateur, le traducteur. Il y côtoie les artistes, pour les mettre en lumière ou comme un filtre invisible entre eux et le public. Il les croise aussi juste par hasard, dans un hall d’hôtel, sur un parking la nuit, devant une porte d’ascenseur... Il savoure le fait d’être au bon endroit au bon moment et nous en fait profiter.



25 ans de festivals de cinéma et d’avant-premières à Deauville, Cognac, Gérardmer, Beaune, Paris, Cannes ou Marrakech, sont présentés sous la forme de flashs impérissables, avec la précision du collectionneur et l’empreinte de l’émotion. C’est un défilé, l’auteur y détaille l’épaisseur d’une moquette, l’odeur d’un cigare ou la sincérité d’un sourire. Avec une star, c’est un échange raté, sous le coup du stress ou de la fatigue, ou bien une parenthèse complice.

C'est une galère sur scène, ou un moment de détente.

Le Festival propose une sélection de vidéos ayant pour sujet principal l'oiseau dans son milieu naturel, la vie sauvage ou l'environnement, la nature en général

La durée des films professionnels autorisée est comprise entre 26 et 100 minutes.

Cette compétition est également ouverte aux non-professionnels du son, de la prise de vue et du montage qui s'adonnent à la réalisation de vidéos animalières pour leur plaisir, sans en faire la base de leurs revenus (durée : 3 à 13 minutes).

Les films sélectionnés seront projetés au Jury et au public dans le cadre du Festival du 12 au 20 avril 2025.
