MK2 Signs Worldwide Deal For Films Of Nouvelle Vague Influencer & Cinema Vérité Pioneer Jean Rouch - Cannes Market

EXCLUSIVE: Paris-based international sales company mk2 Films has signed a worldwide representation deal, excluding North America and Spain, for the works of late cinema vérité pioneer Jean Rouch. Rouch, who spent much of his adult life in Niger, broke fresh ground with his merging of anthropology with cinema to pioneer cinéma vérité, with his work going on to be an inspiration for the directors of the French New Wave. It comes as the New Wave is in the spotlight at Cannes thanks to the world premiere of Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague revisiting the production of Jean-Luc Godard’s shoot of Breathless, which mentions both Rouch and Braunberger.
