Salaud Morisset Boards ‘Under the Volcano’ Ahead of Toronto Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)


Salaud Morisset has picked up international sales for 'Under the Volcano,' which is set to world premiere in Centrepiece at Toronto Film Festival.

“Under the Volcano,” Polish director Damian Kocur ’s second feature, tells the story of a Ukrainian family spending the last day of their holiday on the island of Tenerife, Spain. “Under the Volcano” marks the second collaboration of Kocur and Salaud Morisset, who previously worked on his latest short “As It Was.” The film was co-written and co-directed with Ukrainian director Anastasiia Solonevych and screened in Official Competition in Cannes in 2023. Salaud Morisset’s Toronto slate includes Cannes Directors’ Fortnight title “To a Land Unknown” by Danish-Palestinian filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel, also in Centrepiece, as well as two Cannes 2024 short titles, “Sauna Day” by Estonian and Indian directors Anna Hints and Tushar Prakash, and “Amarela” by Japanese-Brazilian filmmaker André Hayato Saito.
