As part of the 18th Arras Film Festival, currently in full swing (see the news and read the interview), the sixth edition of the Arras Days is about to unveil eight projects at the writing stage, which will be pitched to a jury of three professionals (Géraldine Goldenstern, Émilie Voisin and Geoffroy Grison) on Saturday, and which will duke it out for two development aid grants (one worth €8,000, courtesy of the CNC, and the other worth €5,000, provided by the City of Arras). Furthermore, the Arras Days, which is also devised as a co-production and funding platform, will allow producers, distributors and sales agents interested in these projects to discover them for themselves at first hand.

), which will be introduced by Pieprzyca’s producer. The story is based on the life of jazz pianist Mieczyslaw “Mietek” Kosz, who died in tragic circumstances after having lived a tumultuous life (he spent his childhood on a poverty-stricken farm and lost the power of sight at the age of 12, then his gift for music blossomed and his career started to take off while his personal life became very complicated; he was then reborn through love, among other highlights).

For her part, Slovenia’s Hanna Slak (The Miner [+lee también:

The story revolves around a 12-year-old girl whose father quits his job as a banker in the hope of becoming an actor, much to the chagrin of his wife (who finds that she is the sole breadwinner in the family). But it fills his daughter with enthusiasm, and she is more than willing to lend him a hand.
