Set to open the 2014 Cannes Film Festival International Critics' Week sidebar, is Faire L’Amour, Haitian director Djinn Carrénard's sophomore effort. Faire l’amour (or Making Love) is Djinn's follow-up to his first film, Donoma, which was reportedly made for a few hundred dollars; We saw it, and we were enthralled by it! It screened at Cannes 2 years ago, also as part of a sidebar program. He impressed critics and audiences with it, around the world, wherever it screened, including here in the USA, and I expect his second feature, Faire L'Amour, to do the same, starting with a Cannes 2015 premiere. The film, budgeted at €2.7...

Djinn Carrenard’s second feature to open selection; genre pictures When Animals Dream [pictured] and It Follows to compete in Cannes Critics’ Week.
Djinn Carrénard’s Faire L’Amour (Fla)], revolving around the relationship between a musician and woman on parole, will open the 53rd edition of Cannes Critics’ Week, running May 15-23
The respected parallel selection, focusing on first and second works, unveiled its 2014 line-up on Monday (April 20). In total, the selection committee screened 1,200 feature-length films and 1,770 shorts.
Haitian, France-based Carrénard won France’s prestigious Louis Delluc prize for best first film in 2011 for his buzzy, micro-budget Donoma, which premiered in Cannes in 2010 in the indie-focused Acid selection.
“The director of Donoma instils in his second feature all the energy of the previous one with a sense of drama and character development that really packs a punch,” commented Critics’ Week artistic director Charles Tesson, adding it revolved around, “how to construct love and how to really make love...

A good four days after all hullabaloo of Thierry Frémaux’s Main Comp plus Un Certain Regard announcement takes hold the film world, it is the programming team lead by Artistic Director Charles Tesson that get to unwrap an approximate baker’s half-dozen gifts of their own. On the 21st, the selections for the 53rd edition of the Critics’ Week will be announced with the closing film to be held back for a later mention, and because our Cannes bound Ioncinema.com team comprised of Blake Williams, Nicholas Bell, and I (Eric Lavallee) are always up for the challenge in prognosticating what is easily the most futile festival guessing game of them all, we’ve gone ahead and listed eight films from first and second time feature filmmaker for the seven plus 2 or 3 special screening slots for the upcoming edition.
If we build off what Tesson et al. programmed in...

A filmmaker that we're definitely excited about, and looking forward to seeing more from after his debut feature, Donoma, debuted here in NYC at the New Directors/New Films Festival in March. Yes, Djinn Carrénard is one to watch as he embarks on his second film, Faire l’amour (or Making Love), which is currently shooting in France. I'm hoping that we can arrange more stateside screenings of the understated and enthralling Donoma, as I don't believe it screened outside of the Nd/Nf Festival (it also screened at Bam in Brooklyn). But more audiences should see it. The film was made for nothing... really, nothing, a story that we could say...

The Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art have announced that they'll be presenting 29 features and 12 shorts in the 41st edition of New Directors/New Films, running March 21 through April 1). The series, dedicated to "the discovery of new works by emerging and dynamic filmmaking talent," opens with Nadine Labaki's Where Do We Go Now? (see the Cannes roundup). A few notes on the other features:
The Ambassador (Mads Brügger). The La Weekly's Karina Longworth suggests that Brügger is "sort of the Vice magazine version of Sacha Baron Cohen, as financed by Lars von Trier. His last film was The Red Chapel, an exercise in hidden camera comedy with unusual socio-political stakes, which I put on my top 10 list for 2010." In "his hilarious, troubling new film," Brügger poses as "a diplomat in Africa, a decadent Westerner plundering a third-world nation…. For a six-figure outlay, Brugger is promised a Liberian passport,...

I really love the energetic look and feel of this; and the story behind its making makes it even more intriguing to me. Skimming the list of titles announced yesterday to screen at the New Directors/New Films Festival here in NYC, I came across this one from Haitian-born, Paris based filmmaker Djinn Carrénard titled Donoma. Described as a "guerrilla film" that cost relatively nothing, the Nd/Nf sheet says the production budget was rumored to be around just $200; elsewhere, I read that the film was made with the help of volunteer support of many artists. But the words "guerrilla film" should tell you much of what you need to know. Edited over the course of several years, Donoma, which is Djinn's feature debut, interweaves three love stories, chronicling the romantic destinies of three women; "a fresh, funny portrait of an emerging French generation," says the Nd/Nf. It actually premiered at the 2010 Cannes Film.
