THE FRENCH NEW GENERATION
Wed, Apr 30, 2014

Yann Gonzalez, Justine Triet, Antonin Peretjako, Sebastien Betbeder, Nicolas Pariser and Yann Le Quellec all made remarkable impressions at the most recent Cannes Film Festival. Young and working outside of the French studio system, these talented filmmakers bring with them a sense of freedom and experimentation that has not been seen in decades. Though not really a self-defined group, these New Generation directors share a camaraderie born of independents surmounting tight budgets with limitless creativity. We’re pleased to showcase their work on our screens, beginning with the debut feature from Yann Gonzalez, YOU AND THE NIGHT.
