The region supports a wide variety of creative works while ensuring that related sectors remain considerably strong and well structured. Cinema and the audiovisual arts actively help paint the image of a region that is creative, attractive, dynamic and open. The FACCA fund for supporting creative works in cinema is Brittany’s main source of financial assistance in cultural production, widely helping develop and structure a community of entrepreneurs and jobs in this sector. www.bretagne.bzh manifesto by Antoine Le Bos — Artistic Director and Anna Ciennik — Project Manager Massimiliano Nardulli — Talent Manager LIM | Less is More has been set up to empower a generation of filmmakers intent on opening new avenues and finding new audiences by tackling new issues. Our motto is Igor Stravinsky’s “The more art is bound by limitations, the freer it is”. We live in an age of over-consumption and deep ecological concern. Humanism is in trouble and society is struggling to create meaning. Stories lie at the heart of what makes us human. Cinema is one of today’s powerful storytelling tools directly connected to our dreams and nightmares. It restores our ability to create meaning for present and future generations. LIM uses limitations as a creative tool. Its spirit and ambition far exceed the facile business of restricting budgets. Self- imposed limitations help dig deep into character and emotion. They are a catalyst for boundary-breaking film experiences. Artful limitation strategies help bring out a filmmaker’s unique vision, giving his or her work a strong advantage in an overcrowded market. Obviously also, introducing limitations early in the writing processes increases a film’s chances of being made rapidly. The screenwriter’s job is to streamline apparent complexity. A well-understood limitation strategy triggers strong artistic choices which can help make the engineering of an individual’s imagination meaningful to all. table of content 14 — 15 projects 48 — 49 development angels 16 — 17 Exiled Paradise 50 Patricia Drati Raed Andoni 51 Marina Gumzi 18 — 19 Psychedelicatessen Harry Ayiotis 52 Aleksandra Kostina 20 — 21 Accidents 53 Karla Lulić Michał Bielawski 54 Patrice Nezan 22 — 23 The Mind Patrol Tudor Botezatu 55 Héloïse Noé 24 — 25 Blue Banks 56 Michał Oleszczyk Andreea Borțun 57 Alki Politi 26 — 27 The Vision Brian Deane 58 Céline Pourveur & Bob Kelly 59 Susana Santos 28 — 29 Collateral Effects Rodrigues Wessam Hachicho 60 Joanna Solecka 30 — 31 God Sister Nelicia Low 61 Elena Stanisheva 32 — 33 Birdie Jasna Nanut 62 — 63 tutors 34 — 35 When they all vanish 64 Pierre Hodgson Mark Noonan 65 Răzvan Rădulescu 36 — 37 Mami Wata C.J.

While the producers search for an alternative actor for the role of Christ, André and a local marginal actor called Ziad, experience an event in a real situation resembling one of the legends. They are its real heroes. Director’s notes EXILED FROM PARADISE recalls the legend of Christ and its connection to our collective memory of the values of love, giving, sacrifice and non-violent struggle. Yet it is situated in a contemporary narrative dealing with competition and domination. This analogy reveals questions about our deep desires and the options available for mankind today. Raed Andoni, a Palestinian filmmaker, began his career in 1997 as a producer. He produced a number of films acclaimed in international festivals and markets. In 2006 he directed his first 60 minute documentary IMPROVISATION which was screened in various international festivals and TV channels. His feature FIX- ME premiered in the official competition at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010, was in the ACID selection at Cannes festival 2011 and many others festivals and was released in theaters in France and Switzerland. Andoni’s latest film GHOST HUNTING premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival 2017 and won the Glashütte Original Documentary Award and the people’s choice award. Ghost Hunting took part in over 150 festivals and won 20 prizes before it became Palestine’s Official ticket to the OSCARS in 2019.

When a panicked Benedictine nun appears at the clinic begging Mathilde to follow her back to the convent, what she finds there is shocking: a holy sister about to give birth and several more in advanced stages of pregnancy. A non-believer, Mathilde enters the sisters’ fiercely private world, dictated by the rituals of their order and the strict Rev. Mother (Agata Kulesza, Ida). Fearing the shame of exposure, the hostility of the occupying Soviet troops and local Polish communists and while facing an unprecedented crisis of faith, the nuns increasingly turn to Mathilde as their beliefs and traditions clash with harsh realities.
