48th Résidence du Festival de Cannes: Animalia's Sofia Alaoui Among the Half Dozen Invites

Franco-Moroccan filmmaker Sofia Alaoui (behind the brilliant Sundance Grand Prize-winning short So What If the Goats Die (2020) and the equally mystical supernatural bowl of soup feature in 2023’s Animalia) is among the half dozen invited guests to the Résidence of the Festival de Cannes — essentially the festival sets up burgeoning filmmakers to set up shop at an apartment building in Paris to workshop their latest projects with industry folk.

Other invited folks bunking in the Paris staycay incvlude Australian filmmaker (based in Berlin) Rudolf Fitzgerald-Leonard (who had his short shown in the Directors’ Fortnight), Colombian filmmaker Theo Montoya of Anhell69 fame, Lithuanian filmmaker Eglė Razumaitė whose last short (Ootidé) was in the running for the short film Palme d’Or, India’s Diwa Shah (she had her feature debut at the 2023 San Sebastian Intl. Film Festival) and finally Anastasia Veber, her last short won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale.
