London and Paris-based Film Constellation head Fabien Westerhoff officially announced the launch of its in-house production arm Constellation Productions exactly a year ago, during the 2022 edition of Cannes.
Twelve months on, the exec is taking stock with a sense of satisfaction.

The first film to come down the pipeline will be UK director Alice Troughton’s first film The Lesson, starring Daryl McCormack, Richard E. Grant and Julie Delpy, which world premieres at Tribeca in June.
Westerhoff takes a producer credit alongside London-based producer Camille Gatin at Poison Chef Production, Cassandra Sigsgaard at Jeva Films and Judy Tossell at Berlin company Egoli Tossell Film.
With his sales background, the exec financed the film through Focus Features and Bleecker Street.

“The Girl With All the Gifts” had a strange and slightly convoluted origin, which in turn led to a strange, maybe unique creative process for both the novel and the movie. Short version: The movie isn’t really an adaptation of the novel because the novel was being written at the same time.
The first pebble in this very personal avalanche came when I was been invited by Charlaine Harris and Toni Kelner to contribute a short story for an anthology of dark fantasy and horror. It was the latest incarnation of an annual collection they edited together. Every year they would come up with a deceptively innocent, everyday theme and ask authors to produce a dark riff on it. In this instance the theme was school days.
But having said I’d contribute I couldn’t come up with any workable ideas. The deadline was getting closer, and everything...

With little over a month to go until the big night, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts has unveiled the 2017 BAFTA nominations, and it’s Damien Chazelle’s La La Land that leads the charge.
Following its historic turn at last weekend’s Golden Globes ceremony – Chazelle’s old-timey musical walked away with seven wins, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor/Actress gongs for Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone – La La Land continues its strong run in this year’s awards season with BAFTA nominations in all of the major categories.
For Best Film, it’ll be competing against Arrival, Manchester By the Sea and Moonlight – three formidable and worthy opponents that have collected scores of nominations between them – along with I, Daniel Blake, Ken Loach’s profound and perceptive portrayal of unemployment and its subsequent stigma in northerly England.
