Contenders International Kicks Off Today With 13 Films In The Awards Conversation
The diversity at Deadline's 2024 Contenders Film: International is eye-popping, ranging from thrillers and personal dramas to intimate documentaries.
As ever, this year’s lineup offers a snapshot of film festival highlights, taking us on a whistle-stop tour of the big five — Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Venice and Toronto — with titles that made an impact at events in Warsaw, Thessaloniki, Taipei, Locarno, Málaga, Haugesund and Karlovy Vary. Taiwan brings us Old Fox, a 1990-set coming-of-age story in which a poor young boy befriends the ruthless landlord who controls his entire neighborhood. Sweden has opted for non-fiction this year, and The Last Journey finds a retired schoolteacher taking an impromptu road trip to rediscover his joie de vivre.
