What’s in Store for 2026?: Élie Wajeman’s ‘Le joueur’ & Valérie Donzelli’s ‘À pied d’œuvre’

Date:

The Cineuropa folks have unveiled the latest round of CNC’s advance on receipts projects (eleven in total) and at the top of the list we find the likes of Élie Wajeman, Valérie Donzelli and sophomore features by the next wave of talents in Vincent Le Port and Anaïs Volpé.

Wajeman has been a Cannes regular with all three of his film projects hitting Cannes, he will next work on Le joueur which was co-written with actor Vincent Sornaga. Donzelli, who last premiered Just the Two of Us (2023) in the Cannes Premiere section will once again tackle a book to film project – this time she teamed up with Gilles Marchand for À pied d’œuvre (translates to At Work). This is her seventh feature film.

Le Port who just last week got some coin via the ARTE France Cinéma will also receive support here for Hautfaye — as is the case for Volpé — she premiered Entre les vagues in the Directors’ Fortnight section in 2021 and will work on Sans cesse mon chéri.
