If we learned anything from Tony Soprano, it’s that even the world’s worst criminals need a mediator. And in Furies, a high-octane French action series, there are six mafia families in need of some major — and majorly violent — intervention. While hunting down her father’s murderer, a young woman is recruited by the peacekeeper of the Paris mafia who’s looking for a successor to thwart an impending war among the city’s criminal underbelly. Starring Lina El Arabi, Marina Foïs, and Mathieu Kassovitz, the series is from Kepler(s) creators Jean-Yves Arnaud and Yoann Legave.

Le Pacte is set to host market premieres for Édouard Baer’s “Adieu Paris” and Giordano Gederlini’s “On the Edge” at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris, which takes place this week.

Paris-based Le Pacte has closed a raft of sales on Olivier Peyon’s “Tokyo Shaking” and Nadine Loiseau’s “Three Times Nothing,” both of which are screening at the Berlin Festival’s virtual European Film Market.
A hot title on Le Pacte’s slate, “Tokyo Shaking” sold to Germany and Austria (Zdf), Israel (New Cinema), Canada (Axia Films), Spain (Alfa Pictures) and the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Mediasquad).
“Tokyo Shaking” is set on March 11, 2011, when Japan was hit by the biggest tsunami it had ever experienced, leading to the Fukushima disaster. While risks are being officially downplayed, the foreign community in Tokyo is terrified by this tragic event and no one is capable of assessing its scope.
The film stars Karin Viard (pictured) as Alexandra, a French executive newly arrived from Hong-Kong to work in a bank, who has to face this nuclear crisis amid pervading terror and chaos.

The acting revelation who made her name in A Wedding will be flanked by Esther Bernet in Marion Desseigne Ravel’s first feature film, a 31 Juin Films and Tripode production sold by Le Pacte. 12 August will see filming begin in Paris on Marion Desseigne Ravel’s first full-length picture: Les meilleures. The director, who studied at La Fémis and who already has a number of short films under her belt, will be bringing together Lina El Arabi and Esther Bernet, both of whom will be leading the cast of what is announced by the director to be a romantic filmWritten by Marion Desseigne Ravel herself, the plot is summarised as follows by the main character’s inner voice:...
"Everytime I see you, it feels good, and it hurts at the same time." Entertainment One has debuted the first official trailer for a very bizarre, high concept indie romantic drama titled Eye on Juliet. Here's the crazy unique pitch for this: a drone operator falls in love with a Middle Eastern woman who is being beaten by her family. She can't really see him, because he operates a hexapod drone, but he can see her on his computer system back in America, and tries to save her. Joe Cole stars as the operator, along with Lina El Arabi as his love interest, plus a cast including Faycal Zeglat, Hatim Seddiki, and Brent Skagford. As weird as this sounds, and although it seems cheesy, this trailer actually shows some promise. He might've pulled this off? This already played at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, which means there's definitely something to it.
