Screen Daily made up their own Tips list with some surprise titles that I don't think will make it to Cannes (although I badly want to see Abdellatif Kechiche's Black Venus, I think he might return to Venice), and some titles that have a good shot which I did not mention (John Cameron Mitchell's Rabbit Hole) and plenty of their list mimics my picks - such as Julie Bertucelli's The Tree.

In the seven previous editions (with 2007 being the best crop of films with noteworthy titles such as Bertrand Bonello's De La Guerre, Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro Volte, Semih Kaplanoglu's Milk, Ciro Guerra's The Wind Journey, João Pedro Rodrigues' To Die Like A Man and So Yong Kim's Treeless Mountain), L’Atelier has been a pivotal stop for new auteurs in world cinema finding some coin. And while this doesn't carry the same weight as Rotterdam, so far the ratio is 72 for 115. Among the 15 projects selected this year we find find the likes of Dutch helmer Marco van Geffen (pictured) who gave us last year's Among Us (Locarno, TIFF), docu helmer Mahmoud Al Massad (Sundance's Recycle) and a foursome of filmmakers who've workshopped their nascent projects at the well-regarded Torino Film Labs. Here's the list below:

She has built a solid career resume in a very short time span with Christophe Honoré, Bertrand Bonello, Quentin Tarantino, Raoul Ruiz, Woody Allen and Michel Gondry's upcoming, "The Foam of the Days," and now Lea Seydoux is set to topline Abdellatif Kechiche's film adaptation of Blue Is a Hot Color.

With a half dozen titles in the sidebars, the Parisian Sales Agent Film Distribution folks are certainly going to be hosting several parties. At the top of the list they've got Bertrand Bonello's House of Tolerance. In the waiting, we find the co. pushing Brillante Mendoza's latest entitled Captured - a film that features a Croisette fixture in the popular Isabelle Huppert.

In less than five years, Léa Seydoux has worked with the best of auteur cinema and dabbled into a little Hollywood as well. She had a small part in chapter one of QT's Basterds and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, but she has made a name for herself by working with the likes of Christophe Honoré, Bertrand Bonello, Catherine Breillat, in Jessica Hausner's Lourdes and Raoul Ruiz's latest film. She'll next work for a little known filmmaker for North American audiences in director Djamshed Usmonov's first French-language film.
