A committee consisting of Efa Board Member Antonio Saura, producer (Spain), Efa Member Despina Mouzaki, producer (Greece), as well as documentary experts Claas Danielsen (Germany), Ally Derks (Netherlands) and Jacques Laurent (Belgium) decided on the nominations.

Swiss Films promotional agency to restructure in 2014.
The new head of national promotion agency Swiss Films says filmmakers should start thinking about how their film will be promoted from the minute they start working on it. “We’re trying to find out what the story will be at the beginning…promotion should be starting from day 1,” says Swiss Films director Catherine Ann Berger.
She wants Swiss Films to be able to work with directors and producers as they are making films, and in the editing room. “It’s trusting the experience of many people who have worked in the field for a long, long time.” She says getting world sales companies on board for Swiss films earlier can also help landing slots at major festivals.
It’s a change in attitude from how European arthouse filmmakers are accustomed to working. “It’s a different approach to European auteur filmmaking. They want to keep the reins as long...

L’escale – Kaveh Bakhtiari
Section: Directors’ Fortnight
Buzz: The first feature film from Swiss-Iranian director, Kaveh Bakhtiari, documents the plight of illegal immigrants from Iran living in Greece, where they are in transit until they find their way to other Western countries. Director’s Fortnight has selected yet another hot topic as this issue has become a grave one in many Western countries.
The Gist: Kaveh Bakhtiari, the director, spent long months among a group of Iranian illegal immigrants in Athens to follow their individual fates. Seeking their dream of a better life and freedom, people from all walks of life make the radical decision to leave everything behind and emigrate from Iran. They cross the exceedingly dangerous border into Turkey, risk their lives on board refugee boats heading for Greece, and finally arrive in Athens, where they find shelter with Amir, who runs a “boarding house” for illegal immigrants.

The Director's Fortnight has added 20 titles to its already-announced opener, The Congress, from Ari "Waltz With Bashir" Folman, a part-animated adaptation of Stanislaw "Solaris" Lem's sci-fi novel The Futurological Congress.
Highlights include La Danza de la Realidad, the first film for more than two decades from cult Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky (best known for El Topo), and a complementary documentary, Jodorowsky's Dune, about the director's disastrous attempt to film Frank Herbert's giant novel. Two more Chilean directors, Sebastian Silva, with his Sundance hit Magic Magic, starring Michael Cera, and Marcela Said with The Summer of the Flying Fish, have had films selected alongside.

The 2013 Cannes Film Festival lineup is virtually complete, though an Out of Competition selection or two may still be announced. This morning from Paris the fest announced their full Directors' Fortnight (Quinzaine) selection, which we already knew would open with Ari Folman's The Congress, but added to that are a couple of Sundance features including Sebastian Silva's Magic Magic starring Michael Cera, Juno Temple, Emily Browning, Catalina Sandino and Agustin Silva and Jim Mickle's cannibal feature We are What We are. Additionally, Ruairi Robinson arrives with Last Days on Mars, a sci-fi thriller starring Liev Schreiber, Romola Garai and Elias Koteas centered on a group of astronaut explorers who succumb one by one to a mysterious and terrifying force while collecting specimens on Mars.

Heavy on the French film items and with a side dish of Chilean influence, this year’s Directors’ Fortnight also known as the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs is offering “double” Alejandro Jodorowosky, and the highly anticipated titles we predicted from the likes of Clio Barnard (The Selfish Giant) and Serge Bozon (Tip Top). Repping Chile, we have Sebastián Silva’s Magic Magic (review) which is joined by another Sundance preemed title in Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are (fittingly this is the remake of Somos lo que hay (which was featured in the section in 2010). Upping the sci-fi quotient by joining the already announced The Congress, we find Ruairi Robinson highly anticipated feature debut with Last Days On Mars. Anurag Kashyap makes it two for two years, after unloading the almost six hour Gangs of Wasseypur, he returns with Ugly, while Tehilim (Main Comp in 2007) helmer Raphaël Nadjari returns...

However, the biggest "surprise" is the inclusion of Alexander Payne's black-and-white film Nebraska, which is sure to be a big attention getter,...
