Virtual Cannes Market Unveils Works-in-Progress Titles1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe Cannes Marché du Film has unveiled the titles that will screen as part of its works-in-progress section “Goes to Cannes” for this year’s online-only film market.
Four film festivals — Hong Kong’s Asia Film Financing Forum, Poland’s New Horizons International Film Festival, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival and the NFDC Film Bazaar from India – will showcase a selection of curated projects, all in post-production, that are looking for sales agents, international distributors or a slot in future film festivals.
The films themselves are as varied and diverse as the festivals that selected them. New Horizons’ selection includes Piotr Stasik’s The Moths, a survival tale in which a group of young boys escape their digital detox camp to hide in the woods, without speaking to one another. After 20 days they are found, but one of the boys is missing. Thessaloniki’s picks include Esperanto from director Stratis Chatzielenoudas, a look at canary breeders that is billed as an intimate and atmospheric film essay about communication and self-isolation.
