Cannes — Two first feature projects, Sylvain Robineau’s French title “Sabine” and Fisnik Maxhuni’s ”Syzygy,” a Swiss-Kosovo production, will be pitched by 12 up-and-coming sales executives at the 3rd Cinando Awards’ Best Seller Contest, which take place over May 15-16 at the Cannes Film Market.
“Sabine” and “”Syzygy” will then segue to the Cannes Short Film Corner, where they will be presented in public by their would-be makers at a brand new five-title showcase, the Focus CoPro event, which is open to industry attendees. It takes place May 17.
A film about the cathartic power of art, said Robineau, “Sabine” is a feature version of an already made 15-minute short, a gentle comedy, directed by Robineau in 2015. In it, a video store manager, losing his partner, Sabine, films himself, in a melancholic black-and-white video clip, searching for her on a roadside, calling out her name by a river. He soon sets...

Exclusive: Ryan Kampe’s New York-based Visit Films has closed two key deals on David Robert Mitchell’s second feature ahead of its world premiere in Critics’ Week.
