The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards to world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.

As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother’s battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility. With the pressure on him mounting, James must find new reserves of strength or risk imploding completely. “Knockout performances by Cynthia Nixon and Girls alumnus Christopher Abbott. James White could be considered Mond’s Amour, albeit seen through PRODUCED BY BORDERLINE FILMS (AFTERSCHOOL, MArthA MARCY MAY MARLENE) the eyes of a child rather than a spouse.” VARIETY USA | 2015 | 86 MIN | ENGLISH “No film at Sundance this year hit me with more force emotionally than Josh Mond’s James White. SCREENINGS IN CANNES Devastating. Abbott is simply phenomenal here.” Fri. 15th – 12:00 PM @ Arcades 2 ROBERT EBERT.COM (Private Market Screening – By invitation only) Tue. 19th – 11:30 AM @ Star 3 “This extraordinarily intimate drama marks an (Private Market Screening – By invitation only) arresting feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond. A viscerally acted drama whose rich visual and sonic textures intensify the plunge into the title character’s messy life.” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER “Standing high above the rest of the films at Sundance this year, Mond’s directorial debut is a must-see. Cynthia Nixon is stunning in the role of James’ mother, generous, unselfconscious and heartbreaking.” THE HUFFINGTON POST “One of the standouts in this year’s Sundance selection.” THE GUARDIAN “The team behind Simon Killer and Martha Marcy May Marlene deliver one from the heart. James White visits tragically familiar material. Bracingly authentic and unique.” LITTLE WHITE LIES IN PRE-PRODUCTION UPCOMING NEW SCRIPT AVAILABLE SLACK BAY A film by Bruno Dumont By the director of Li’l QuiNQUIN (Cannes 2014 – Directors’ Fortnight), CAMILLE CLAUDEL 1915 (Berlin 2013 – Official Competition), FLANDERS (Cannes 2006 – Winner Grand Prize), HUMANITY (Cannes 1999 – Winner Grand Prize, best Actor and best Actress), THE LIFE OF JESUS (Cannes 1997 – Winner Caméra d’Or) With JULIETTE BINOCHE (The English Patient, Three Colors Blue), FABRICE LUCHINI (Gemma Bovary, In the House, The Women on the 6th Floor) and ValERIA BRUNI TEDESCHI (Munich, Human Capital, 5x2) ©DR Summer 1910. Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the ©DR beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast. Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disappearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide. There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named “The Eternal”, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, espe- cially the impetuous Ma Loute, aged 18. Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems’ mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family – all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding – stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts. Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischie- vous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.
