Daring Stories, Rising Stars Mark 14th Edition of MyFrenchFilmFestival
This year's online French cinema spotlight, MyFrenchFilmFestival, runs Jan. 19 - Feb. 19.
While Nicolas Pariser’s “The Green Perfume” sends established names Sandrine Kiberlaine and Vincent Lacoste on a breakneck spy caper, titles like Jean-Baptiste Durand’s “Junkyard Dog” and Jeanne Aslan and Paul Saintillan’s “Spare Keys” will help break a new generation of onscreen talent, introducing international viewers to rising stars like Raphäel Quenard, Céleste Brunnquell and Quentin Dolmaire. Rounding out the Francophone selection, the Quebecois road-movie “Rodéo,” from Joëlle Desjardins and the sailing doc “Polaris,” from Ainara Vera, both situate family stories – parents in one, siblings in the other – against rugged and expressive natural landscapes. Filmmakers Marie Kreutzer (“Corsage”), Katell Quillévéré (“Along Came Love”), Lillah Halla (“Power Alley”), and Faouzi Bensaïdi (“Desserts”), and Italian star Pierfrancesco Favino (“The Traitor”) will make up this year’s jury.
