That daunting architectural feat every year attracts more visitors from all over the world, and provided a stage for key historical events and figures – from Leonardo da Vinci, to Louis XIV and the French Revolution, to World War II. But the true treasure of Chambord is beyond its stone walls, in an expanse of wooded park the size of Paris – its richly varied and exceptional wildlife denizen, living in time to nature’s own pulse. 2019 | France | French | Documentary Feature | 78’ DIRECTOR PR ODUCER FRENCH DISTRIBUTOR Laurent Charbonnier MC4 Jour2fête FRENCH RELEASE October 2nd 2019 © LCProductions / MC4 © LCProductions Farewell to L’Adieu the Night à la Nuit Muriel is overjoyed.

In a little village sweltering in the summer heat in the Berry region of France, a dog howls day and night at a barrack’s gates. Inside is a single prisoner: the mutt’s master, a man named Morlac. In the countryside nearby, a young woman waits and hopes. She is exhausted by her labor in the fields, yet seems too well- educated to be a farm worker. Morlac, a hero of the Great War decorated for bravery, is to be tried by an officer, Lantier du Grez, for crimes against the Republic. He faces the death penalty. The judge has just a few days to piece together the story of the accused and announce his sentence. So three characters and, among them, a dog… who holds the key to the mysterious affair. 2018 | France | French | Drama | 83’ DIRECTOR CAST PR ODUCER Jean Becker François Cluzet ICE 3 (Conversations With My (The Intouchables, Tell No One) Gardener, My Afternoons Nicolas Duvauchelle With Margueritte) FRENCH DISTRIBUTOR (Dalida, Poliss) Apollo Films Sophie Verbeeck FRENCH RELEASE March 28th 2018 © Alain Guizard / ICE 3 Alain Guizard © Comme Kings des Rois For a Day Joseph is a conman, but despite his son’s help in his door-to-door scams, he can no longer make ends meet.
