Slowly becoming a medium-sized player for quality, auteur Euro titles, the German/French company company had more of a presence in Venice/TIFF (Lourdes, Women without Men) last year than they did in Cannes where they presented the animated speaking figurines cowboys & Indians and talking horses. This year the Coproduction Office come packing three titles – a pair in the Un Certain Regard section and a much anticipated Cannes supported, docu-essay Le Quattro Volte by Italian helmer Michelangelo Frammartino…and the last minute addition to the fest Tender Son – The Frankenstein Project which will probably see the director work on the film until the very last minute, hence the very late in the fest screening. Here is a look at the posters for the trio of films that’ll be at the fest (or click on the Quick Links below for a better sized view).
