Annecy’s Work-in-Progress Title ‘Death Does Not Exist’ Boarded by Best Friend Forever (EXCLUSIVE)


Best Friend Forever has boarded international rights to "Death Does Not Exist" which is being showcased in the work-in-progress section at Annecy.

“’Death Does Not Exist’ deals with difficult subjects – violence, commitment, profound convictions – in a way that exposes their underlying tensions, outbursts, dead ends,” said Félix Dufour-Laperrière, who described the project as “a tragic tale, but it’s also a film full of life, friendship and love. The director said he put a lot of himself into it hopes he’s “touched on some very topical concerns about contemporary social, political and climatic emergencies, about our intimate and collective aspirations, about what’s important to save, about the loyalties we must cherish and the price we mustpay to do so.” Best Friend Forever Cannes’ roster also includes Directors’ Fortnight Audience Award winner“Universal Language” by Matthew Rankin, Berlinale Competition entry “Shambhala” by Min BahadurBham and Panorama Selection “The Visitor” by Bruce LaBruce.
