Key Players in the 2012 Cannes Film Market: Memento Films Int.

We Laurent Cantet’s Foxfire pegged for TIFF, Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are slotted for Sundance 2013 and Under the Rainbow being an obvious choice for Cannes, one might overlook the fact that this year Emilie Georges’ Memento Films Int. are repping the Critics’ Week selected Los Salvajes and Un Certain Regard chosen The Pirogue. Breaking news for today is that the company will back Asghar Farhadi’s next project to star Marion Cotillard. Filming beings this fall in Paris.
