Key Players in the Cannes Market: Memento Films

The Sales/Distribution/Production company continually pluck from a batch of interesting U.S independent film auteurs (they are back on board with So Yong Kim for her to be released in the Fall title, For Ellen), grabbing select Euro titles Natalia Smirnoff’s Puzzle (a Berlin) along with French films which we’ve been talking non-stop for the better half of year. Among those they have tapped for the fest they have a premium Midnight Screening for Gilles Marchand’s Black Heaven and they are closing the festival with Julie Bertuccelli’s The Tree. (see Charlotte Gainsbourg in pic above). On the sales side of things, they are working with Marchand’s partner in crime Dominik Moll’s filmed in Spain fantasy pic and are onboard Pawel Pawlikowski’s new project – a helmer who’s sabbatical has lasted a tad too long.
