Fernando Tielve And DÉBORAH FRANÇOIS In Writer-director Alexis Dos Santos' Unmade Beds. Courtesy IFC Films. If there's a restlessness to the filmmaking of Alexis Dos Santos, you only have to look at the background of the young Argentinian writer-director to understand why. Born in Buenos Aires, Dos Santos relocated with his family to a small village in Patagonia when he was eight. He returned to the capital city to study Architecture at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, then moved on to study acting, and finally settled on filmmaking as his vocation. After completing his undergraduate studies at the Universidad del Cine, he moved to Barcelona for a screenwriting course, and then on to London, where he studied under Stephen Frears in the... »

There are 2 big reasons why you need to know more about award-winning Belgian actress Deborah Francois... First, she's the star of three highly-acclaimed movies - Cannes big winner, the Dardenne Brothers' The Child (L'Enfant), the dramatic-thriller The Page Turner (La Tourneuse de pages) and the recent Sundance favorite and François’ first English-speaking film — Unmade Beds, by Argentine director-writer Alexis Dos Santos. - - -

Second, she's one award-winning actress with such intensity and dedication to her craft, you need to watch her perform and add the fact that she's simply »

Not only are they capable of lighting up the silver screen, they are also some of today's most talented young actresses, commanding huge fees - in some cases, in the millions. Many have won multiple awards, while others have starred in some of today's biggest box office hits. In short, we're listing down the cream of the crop!
Just like our recent Top 50 hottest young actors, we've narrowed down our list from 88 to 50, and set an age limit. If you miss seeing some of your favorites, so do we - including Maggie Gyllenhaal (31 years old) and Amy Adams (34 years old). Definitely some of the names you'll see on the list are emerging talents - the ones you will see getting the big roles in the near future - and some of them already have, with awards and nominations to boot.

Trailer: Emmanuel Mouret's Fais-moi plaisir!
25 June 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- What I'm seeing in the trailer for Emmanuel Mouret's Fais-moi plaisir! is pure Blake Edwards' The Party. His last two films, Change of Address and Shall We Kiss?, were released to art-house U.S. audiences, and this hybrid of comedy of manners/comedy of errors might also be headed the same way. Working with Frédérique Bel for a third straight project (she is the blonde girlfriend pushing him to cheat), the pic also features Judith Godrèche and Déborah François, who recently starred in Unmade Beds. Cineuropa.org translates the film's title as Please, Please Me!, this centres on Ariane (Bel), who believes that her partner (Mouret) is fantasizing about another woman. Hoping to free him from his obsession, she asks him to have an affair with the woman in question (Godrèche), who turns out to be the daughter of the French President! There follow several twists and »

Dispatch from Rotterdam: Alexis dos Santos on "Unmade Beds"
3 February 2009 7:12 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
By R. Emmet Sweeney
The buzz is building around Alexis dos Santos' swoony sophomore effort, "Unmade Beds." Premiering at Sundance to no small acclaim, it made its way to Rotterdam and continues to impress. A jaunty, romantic tale of restless youth and their search for identity and a little sex, the film's real star is its set, a bohemian's paradise: a giant, labyrinthine warehouse stocked with drum sets, animal masks and an international cast of idealistic dreamers. Buzzing with French New Wave-like energy, there's a surprise (and a party) after every cut. Despite traveling from the wilds of Utah to the perpetually damp Holland, not to mention nursing a robust hangover, dos Santos heroically managed to sit down with me for a few questions about his latest work.
Could you talk about the origin of the film?
It goes back a long way. I started writing it when I finished film school in London. »

Dispatch from Rotterdam: Carlos Reygadas and Guy Maddin
27 January 2009 7:49 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
By R. Emmet Sweeney
The 38th International Film Festival in Rotterdam has streamlined its program into three sections, but it hasn't lost its focus. The fest still throws its weight behind young filmmakers, and a previous beneficiary, Carlos Reygadas, has emerged as a central figure early on this year. He's credited as producer on two films, Carlos Serrano Azcona's "El Árbol" (2009) and Amat Escalante's "Los Bastardos" (2008), and he's presenting two of his own works as well. The first is "Serenghetti," a new feature-length video projected on an office building in the center of town, which joins outdoor loops by Guy Maddin and Nanouk Leopold. The second is his earliest film, "Adulte," a seven-minute comic short from 1998, which arrives as part of a series on auteur debuts.
Before the world premiere screening of "El Árbol," Reygadas pumped up his opener "Adulte" by saying, "it doesn't work very well," and we'll leave it at that. »
