26th L'ACID Selection

The ACID program at the Cannes International Film Festival was created in 1993. Films are chosen by fifteen or so filmmakers, members of the association. It screens nine feature films, fiction and documentary, chosen among hundreds of works from all around the world.

ACID filmmakers follow their love for a film and wish to give visibility to directors whose work is scarcely distributed, in order to facilitate a theatrical release.

The screenings, open to professionals and also to the public are all followed by Q&As with the films' crews and ACID filmmakers who supported the films.

The films shown in Cannes are then accompanied by ACID and its filmmakers in the various stages of the theatrical release (search for distributors / promotion / programming / organization of the Q&A's / audience research).

ACID is a film directors association that has been promoting the distribution of independent cinema in movie theatres since 1992. The founding principle: the support brought by filmmakers to other filmmakers, French or foreign.

Every year, ACID presents 9 films in Cannes during the festival. Films are chosen by fifteen film directors, members of ACID. Most of these films do not have a french distributor. The aim is to give visibility and public release to new talents. This program is shown at Les Arcades, Studio 13 and Alexandre III, movie theaters in Cannes.

The 26th edition of l'ACID in Cannes will run from Wednesday, May 9 to Friday, May 18, 2018.

70th Festival de Cannes Award Winners

Suddenly, Cannes is over. Once Again. Feel kind of sad.  Very glad there are great movies in this year edition that hope to see sooner than later. Regret that jury didn't wanted to make history, didn't wanted to be remembered forever, didn't wanted to give for the very first time EVER the Palme d'Or to a two-time-winner director and make him the ONLY three-time winner. Sigh. Instead they opted for a Swedish film in English by a great Swedish director debut in not-his-mother-tongue film.  The good news is that film could be good as not many directors have succeed when they do films in other languages; so, good for him (!) and also, for us -the audience. Still, these days have been fun and now will have to adjust to calm, which is not what Ruben Östlund is having today and will have for a while -just check photo.  Then there is a record for Coppola as she's the first woman to ever win a screenwriting Oscar and the second woman to win in Cannes directing prize. But u...

2017 MUAHS Annual Awards Winners

Last night was a busy night in Hollywood as there were three awards ceremony to attend; but, perhaps one of the most colorful has to be from the Make-up and Hair guild that gave awards to some unexpected winners while snubbing my favorites (lol). Most interesting is the Make Up top award winner as went to a film with no Oscar nomination and great make-up in one of the "movies"; see, I believe there were 2 "movies" in Nocturnal Animals , one very unpleasant to watch and another very pleasant with absolutely great esthetics -the later has fantastic make-up. On the other hand, Best Period and/or Character Make-up went to a film with an Oscar nomination, Suicide Squad , a film with obvious fantastic make-up but this win could mean an Oscar win?  Don't know as guild has not many members that vote in the Academy, at least when we compare it against the largest actor, director or writers guild.  Then perhaps another MUAHS award winner, Star Trek Beyond , could have bet...

89th Academy Awards Foreign Language Film Submissions

Today, October 11th the Academy published the list of films in competition for the 2017 Foreign Language film Oscar which honors films released in their respective countries during the 2016 period. There are quite a few changes. For starters there are 85 and not 86 submissions, then Afghanistan, Armenia and Tunisia are out; last, have to add Cambodia and Yemen.  Japan's entry seems to be the same but has a different name in English: Nagasaki: Memories of My Son by Yoji Yamada and Malaysia's English name is different to Redha. Most important is to highlight that this edition will be the 60th Anniversary of the Foreign Language Film Category as was introduced in 1956 for the 29th Academy Awards. To celebrate the anniversary the Academy created a site with all the category winners which is here and the most amazing collection with 60 videos with the acceptance speeches from the winners which is here . The 85 submissions is a NEW record! Will do another post with my comments a...
