Published on July 14, 2023

Set to premiere A Silence (Un silence) (starring Daniel Auteuil, Emmanuelle Devos) at the upcoming Donostia-San Sebastián (a world premiere could actually occur in Toronto), Joachim Lafosse is not surprisingly set to begin production on his next film from October to mid-December in the south of France. We have no details on the title, plot and the players involved, but casting has begun. The Belgian filmmaker will likely be ready for 2024’s fall festival season. This becomes his third film this decade – The Restless was in the Palme d’Or competition in 2021. Update: via advanced receipts we’ve learned that the project it titled Les petits voleurs and it will be produced by Les Films du Losange, Belgium’s Stenola and Luxembourg’s Samsa Film.
