2012 Cannes Film Festival Predictions: Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio’s Tree Shade

Date:

Gist: There are very few details on Gonzalez-Rubio’s follow-up to his arthouse hit Alamar (To the Sea), but the vegetal title suggest another breezy doc/fiction hybrid will be in store.

Prediction: Tree Shade landed some funding from the Spring 2010 round of the Hubert Bals Fund, and since it was a no-show at Rotterdam last February, eyes have turned toward the Croisette for the anticipated pic. Should the film be completed, organizers will have quite a coup in picking it up and will jump to fit it into either Un Certain Regard or the Fortnight.
