Advance on receipts for Philippe Garrel
Véronique Cayla, Director General of the Centre National de la Cinématographie (CNC), signed six advances on receipt agreements last Wednesday at the centre’s commission headed by producer Bruno Pesery.
First on the list of features selected was Le ciel des anges (lit. “Heaven’s Angels”) by Philippe Garrel. After winning the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 2005 Venice Film Festival and the Louis-Delluc prize in 2005 for his 27th feature, Regular Lovers [+see also:

Other advances on receipts at the session were given to Junior by Jean-Pierre Duret and Andrea Santana (an Ex Nihilo production), Un homme ou une femme (lit. “A Man or a Woman”) by Luc Leclerc du Sablon (produced by Les Films Français, the company of director Pascal Thomas), Home Sweet Home by Didier Le Pêcheur (a Programme 33 production) and StoryOfJean by François Roger (Les Films à Un Dollar).
Simone Bitton’s Rachel (a Ciné Sud Promotion production) also attracted the attention of the commission with a story about the life and death of Rachel Corrie, a young American pacifist crushed by an Israeli bulldozer on the Gaza Strip in 2003.
