Key Players in the Cannes Market: Funny Balloons

Date:

Funny Balloons – the French sales company (founded in 03) has created a small niche of repertoire films, and are the folks behind some of my breakout favorites such as Chile’s Tony Manero and Mexico’s Lake Tahoe (both Cannes products). This year they’ll be presenting Benda Bilili! in the Director’s Fortnight (opening night slot) and they’ve got a promo reel for Pablo Larrain’s Post Mortem (see pic above) – which I would now say is lining up for Venice preem.
