Key Players in the Cannes Market: Films Distribution

With three in the Director’s Fortnight and one in the Main Comp for good measure, Films Distribution are making a significant contribution to Cannes this year – my money is on Katell Quillevere’s Un Poison Violent (see pic above) but Wang Xiaoshuai, Jean-Stéphane Bron’s doc on white collar crimes that hinder the working man and an immigrant tale gone wrong portrait from Olivier Masset-Depasse could make this a great year for the distributor. Something to look forward to in the near future: Yann Samuell’s next effort.
