Summer 1910. Several tourists have vanished on the beaches of the Channel Coast. Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that these mysterious disappearances take place in Slack Bay. There lives a community of fishermen. Among them evolves a curious family, the Brufort, lead by the father “The Eternal”, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetuous Ma Loute. Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems’ mansion. Every summer, this degenerate bourgeois family stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours with the local people. As starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their foundations.

new SCRIPT AVAILABLE SMALL CRIMES A film by E.L. KATZ By the director of Cheap Thrills (Audience Award SXSW) Written by Evan Katz and Macon Blair (Green Room, Blue Ruin) Produced by David Lancaster (Drive, Nightcrawler, Whiplash ) Cast to be announced in Cannes Based on Dave Zeltserman’s eponymous novel

After serving time for the attempted murder of a District Attorney, disgraced former cop Joe Denton returns home looking for redemption. An embarrassment to his parents, abandoned by his ex-wife, it seems as if things can’t get much worse. But then Joe finds himself trapped in the mess he left behind, in the crossfire between a crooked sheriff, the vengeful DA, and a mafia kingpin who knows too much. Delightfully suspenseful, blackly comic, “Small Crimes” follows Joe’s desperate and misguided attempts to extract himself from this nightmare, only to dig himself into a deeper — and bloodier — hole.

Reactions on Cheap Thrills “A thoroughly nasty piece of work, playing like the mutant offspring of Harold Pinter and Quentin Tarantino, yet fueled by its own distinctive strain of darkly comic misanthropy.” Variety “A savage banquet, with wickedness on tap. Katz is sure to give us a whole lot of darkness before the dawn.” Little White Lies “Mind-blowing! Nothing short of iconic.” The Los Angeles Times “I just spent 95mins laughing, freaking out & generally shouting ‘fuck no!!!’ at Cheap Thrills.” @GARETH EVANS

ATHENS, present day: crippled by ’s economic crisis, the city faces one of the worst crime waves in Europe. Gangs of armed men pour into the country to take advantage of the chaos and a series of violent robberies rocks Greece to its core. A new police motorbike unit, DIAS, is created by the government. Its specialty is to deploy four heavily armed officers to any crime scene in under one minute. THEO, a young Athenian who’s just lost his job, decides to join up. Thrilled by the chase and wanting to make a difference, he is quickly thrown into a whirlwind of action and violence and becomes a pivotal player for his unit. Yet with each new arrest, the enraged gangs plan a series of even deadlier crimes that will push Dias to its breaking point, until Dias itself, becomes their target.

This film is inspired by the real DIAS motorcycle squad that patrols the streets of Athens since 2010.

Mid 1980’s. North of Italy not far from the Garda Lake. The sensitive and cultivated 17-year-old Elio, an only child of the American-Italian Perlman family, is facing another lazy summer at his parents’ villa when Oliver arrives. Oliver is an academic who comes to help Elio’s father, an eminent professor and specialist in Greek culture, with his work. The visitor will be their guest for the next six weeks during the summer. A charming 24-year-old American scholar, Oliver is breezy, spontaneous, handsome, and he’s the kind of person who charms everyone he meets. The meeting of these two young men sets in motion the danger of an unbridled adolescent passion in the setting of the beautiful and languid Italian countryside.

“A pitch-perfect evocation of heady romance and passion.” “It is an exceptionally beautiful book (...) this novel is hot. A coming-of-age story, a coming- out story, a Proustian on time and desire, a love letter, an invocation.” THE NEW YORK TIMES

Pierre, a a 75-year-old widower, has lived a pretty solitary life since his wife’s passing. His daughter gets him a computer, hoping it will stimulate his curiosity and maybe — who knows? — meet new people. With the help of Alex, a young computer teacher, Pierre begins browsing and surfing, and soon stumbles upon an online dating website. Under Alex’s identity, Pierre meets Flora63, a young physiotherapist and rapidly falls under her spell. She in turn is charmed by this elegant yet rather unusual profile and asks him on a date. A real one, face to face. Feeling trapped and excited by this adventure, Pierre accepts and has no other choice but to convince Alex to go in his place.

Claire is a wonderfully gifted midwife, with a natural talent to deliver babies with the most gentle touch. But over the years, her delicate ways, her sense of pride and responsibility are clashing with the more efficiency-driven methods of modern hospitals. Closer to the end of her career than ©DR to its beginning, she’s starting to question her place and her skills. One day she receives a strange phone call, a voice from the past. Béatrice, the extravagant and frivolous ex-wife of her deceased father, has important and pressing news and wants to see her again, 30 years after having disappeared without a trace. Opposed in every way, the over-conscientious Claire – bordering inhibition – and the free-spirit, life-loving Béatrice, will learn to accept one another and by revealing old secrets will start to make up for the lost years.

He’s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband, a nice colleague, an understanding sibling... But the planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately. With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around him is starting to behave more and more erratically... When his more than over the top colleague Jerôme accidentally chops off his ear and then moves into Philippe’s apartment, things start to go from bad to insane for our hero.

After the party in Karsten’s apartment, everybody leaves except Anna. Admiringly, Karsten approaches this mysterious woman. How could he have known, that in a moment of weak- ness, his well-established life would spiral out of control and turn into a disaster? In this small provincial German town, disappointment soon fuels anger, justice hides behind hypocrisy, and evil gradually unfolds.

“Pricking the bubble of bourgeois complacency is something that European art cinema can be counted on to do with stalwart regularity– but the operation is handled with particular grace in ALL OF A SUDDEN. A distinguished piece” “Özge seems to be one of those rare filmmakers who are not afraid to explore the themes that intrigue them through very different forms, and this is arguably her most accomplished film to date. This is a drama with strong thriller elements, and even an effective and unexpected touch of Lynchian mystery” CINEUROPA “With Asli Özge a new cinema is beginning” DER TAGESSPIEGEL

NEW trailer AVAILABLE GIRL ASLEEP A film by Rosemary Myers With Bethany Whitmore, Harrison Feldman and Matthew Whittet (The Great Gatsby, Sleeping Beauty, Moulin Rouge)

On the cusp of turning 15, Greta Driscoll is having a hard time fitting in her new town. Between the blonde brats clique, her too-cool-for-school big sister and her outspoken parents, the only person she seems to be able to talk to is Elliott, her weird yet endearing classmate. When her mom decides to throw her a surprise birthday party and invite literally everyone, her biggest teenage fears take over and Greta is flung into a parallel world; a place that’s weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous – only there can she find herself. A journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind.

“A strange, savvy, big-hearted teen adventure that feels perfectly pitched to its target audience as well as those of all ages in search of something unquestionably unique... An exuberant example of imaginative filmmaking that takes its cues from imagination and talent.” VARIETY “Myers crafts an effervescent yet astute splash of teen life that delights the eyes, warms the heart and tickles the funny bone in equal measures. Theatricality and antipodean humour. An upbeat yet emotionally accurate reflection of its 15-year-old protagonist. GIRL ASLEEP provides one of the most visually striking manifestations of a girl’s passage to maturity in recent years.” SCREEN INTERNATIONAL “Girl Asleep is the stylish, formally exuberant debut of theatre director Rosemary Myers. A funny and imaginative portrait of growing pains.” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER “Original and eclectic. This Australian dramedy is not your typical coming-of-age film.” INDIEWIRE
