Azor will be shot in Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata. It was selected at the Europe-Latin America Co-production Forum of the San Sebastián Film Festival in 2016 and will benefit from the support of Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS), Cinéforom and the Loterie Romande.

An advance on receipts from the CNC will also go to Philippe Petit’s debut feature project, Vae Victis, with production assured by Frédéric Dubreuil for Envie de Tempête Productions. Written by the director together with Marcia Romano and Laurette Polmanss, the script focuses on Max, who lives in Rome with his wife and child. He fights for the existence of his job as a landscaper and tries to impose his vision in the public domain. Once again kicked off a project and emotionally fragile, he finds himself roughed up by the demands of life in your forties…

Finally, the CNC will support Camille Ponsin’s documentary feature debut project Marie-José vous attend à 16h [+lee también:
