Producers are more than ever dependent on presenting attractive draft screenplays to find their financial partners. As a result, screenwriters undoubtedly are active economic partners of production planning, but they do not seem to receive much professional recognition for this vital role. Moreover, their earnings often fail to reflect the amount of work produced and do not reward adequately the risks taken, including the possibility that production could stop after the screenplay is written. This article investigates the place of screenplay development within the economics of French cinema. Using recently published official reports and interviews, we identify different types of screenwriters and address their working conditions – freestanding screenwriters, writing teams, and screenwriters co-writing with the director. We survey some of the contract modalities for the remuneration of professional screenwriters. Finally, we review the proposals made by different professional bodies to improve the remuneration of screenwriters and reform the financing of screenwriting.

  • FIRST RUN FEATURES the Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave
    France / 2013 / 128 min / Scope 2.35 / Color / French, Russian, Ukrainian, English w/ English subtitles FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / Fax (212) 989-7649 Website: www.firstrunfeatures.com Email: [email protected] Synopsis: Arriving from all over the Eastern Bloc, the men who loiter around the Gare du Nord train station in Paris are scraping by however they can, forming gangs for support and protection, ever fearful of being caught by the police and deported. When the middle-aged, bourgeois Daniel (Olivier Rabourdin) approaches a boyishly handsome Ukrainian who calls himself Marek for a date, he learns the young man is willing to do anything for some cash. What Daniel intends only as sex-for-hire begets a home invasion and then an unexpectedly profound relationship. The drastically different circumstances of the two men’s lives reveal hidden facets of the city they share. Presented in four parts, this absorbing, continually surprising film by Robin Campillo (director of the 2004 film Les Revenants and a frequent collaborator of Laurent Cantet’s) is centered around relationships that defy easy categorization, in which motivations and desires are poorly understood even by those to whom they belong. Director’s Note: Far from casting judgment on the situation of illegal immigrants, or from being a reflection on paternity, this film first and foremost follows the logic of its fictional narrative. It portrays characters living clandestinely who represent both a danger and a promise for one another. Much like Daniel who, when faced with these young men from the East, oscillates between fear and desire, the film threads its way through ambiguous feelings, borderline, indeed marginal situations, but also, I do hope, through moments of pure jubilation.

I took advantage of the trip to take a break there for 3 weeks. I, of course, went to visit Kyoto and its temples, the Emperor’s marvelous gardens, but I also endeavored to get off the beaten track by going to visit Ozu’s grave in Kamakura, by walking through the wild forests, by spending the night in a traditional Osen usually reserved for the Japanese and by trying to immerse myself in the simplest fashion in this culture that seemed so foreign to me. And then I went to Naoshima. It was a very powerful experience. On this industrial island, one man, Soichiro Fukutake, had had the brilliant idea of asking Tadao Ando to design a modern and contemporary art center in the midst of nature. I live in France very close to Giverny where Monet painted his famous Waterlilies. His landscapes are familiar to me because, like him before, I live just on the banks of the Seine, very close to the church of Vétheuil, where he had his first house, in the hills of Chantemesle which he painted so often.

The last thing she heard of him was a phone call he gave her, saying that he was lost on a beach in France and couldn’t find his father. Nowadays, Elena lives on this same beach and manages a restaurant. She is finally beginning to emerge from this tragic episode when she meets a French teenager who strongly reminds her of her lost son. the two of them will embark on a relationship which will sow chaos and distrust around them. DIRECTOR’S NOTE THE STORY Why make a continuation of the short? After shooting the short film “Madre”, we were all left with a feeling of immense satisfaction. From the very outset, I had mentioned to creative collaborators and crew members that this short film had always motivated me like a very long first scene of a feature film. And everybody I told agreed with me. It was obvious we had a great piece of material. We wanted to carry on with Elena’s story. We couldn’t just leave her like that, rushing out of her house, terrified, in search of her son. We put so much effort into telling the story of Elena’s tragedy (or its beginnings) that the key creative talent involved, producer María del Puy Alvarado, actress Marta Nieto and the humble author of these lines, always thought that we owed something to the story and the character.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.
