Susan Weeks Coulter, Gfi Founder and Board Chair, is in Cannes and available to meet with filmmakers, producers and sales agents regarding projects in development, and films seeking distribution and/or production funding.
(Look for the yellow bag!)
The Global Film Initiative is a leading distributor and funder of films from Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, including:
Miss Lovely (dir. Ashim Ahluwalia, India). Un Certain Regard. Isa: Fortissimo. Screening May 24 and May 25.
Fat, Bald, Short Man/Gordo, Calvo Y Bajito (dir. Carlos Osuna, Colombia). There is no International Sales Agent. This film which I first saw as a work in progress in San Sebastian tells a wonderful emotionally fulfilling story of a fat, bald, short man using the simplest animated drawings. Whoever sees it loves it as you can see from its very long list of showcases:
2008. Selected for Cinéma in Développement a branch of Cinéma en Construction an initiative promoted by San Sebastián Film Festival and the Rencontres Cinémas d'Amérique Latine de Toulouse.
