MK2 Films’ Nathanael Karmitz, Fionnuala Jamison on Premiering Record Six Movies in Competition, Championing Female Talent and Ramping Up Production
MK2 Films is at Cannes with six films in competition - three of which are directed by women, and 12 in total across the official selection.
And at this year’s Cannes, they have three out of the seven competition films directed by female directors, Hafsia Herzi’s drama “La petite dernière,” Carla Simon’s “Romeria” and Mascha Schilinski’s “Sound of Falling” which has been unanimously praised. As such, MK2 Films is opening Cannes Classics with the restored 4K version of Chaplin’s “The Gold Rush” and will re-release it theatrically on June 26 to mark the 100-year anniversary of its initial release in 1925. Jamison: This year, our three women directors reflect different stages of our work: Masha Schilinski is a bold new discovery, Carla Simón continues our long-term collaboration after “Alcarràs,” and Hafsia Herzi, on her third film, shows how we can support filmmakers as they mature and reach greater international visibility.
