Rendez-vous | French Cinema Today

From April 2 to 6 2014 , Rendez-vous avec le nouveau cinéma français ( Appointment with the New French Cinema ) hosts its forth edition scheduled by the Institut Français Italia in collaboration with the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici and with the support of Unifrance. As in the past editions, the French Academy in Rome presents the section “Cinéastes d’aujourd’hui” (“French Cinema Today”) devoted to the new generation of promising French filmmakers. For this edition of Rendez-vous , “Cinéastes d’aujourd’hui” proposes a focus on the actor Vincent Macaigne, who was considered a true revelation at the Festival de Cannes 2013. Macaigne is the main character of three films of the festival, two of which – 2 Automnes 3 Hivers by Sébastien Betbeder and La Bataille de Solférino by Justine Triet – will be presented in this section. “Cinéastes d’aujourd’hui” also proposes Rebecca Zlotowski ‘s film Grand Central , which was presented in the official section “Un Certain Regard” of the Festival de Cannes in 2013. This film, yet to be released in Italy, stars Léa Seydoux. Another interesting “second opus” is the film directed by Axelle Ropert Tirez la langue, mademoiselle , a love story full of emotion recounted without demagoguery. Among the first works selected is Des étoiles directed by the Franco-Senegalese filmmaker Dyana Gaye and starring the Italian actress Maya Sansa. The public will be invited to attend its preview showing in Rendez-vous . Ma belle gosse by Shalimar Preuss , another interesting new director, will be also shown.
