It has taken a few weeks but we finally get to break in the new year with some new news.
The short film The Coin will be breaking free of its US-based appearances at a new film festival in April.
The Fabien Martorell written/directed/produced-film is, according to a recent Tweet by the man himself, one of the official selections for the “Fenêtre Sur Courts” Festival International du Film de Court Métrage d’Avignon. Excuse my poor translation but that is something like: “Window on Short” Avignon International Short Film Festival. Hopefully one of our French readers will be able to do a better job of that and help with any additional translation as required.
As we’ve seen before it looks like Fabien has jumped the gun (or should that be “Guns” based on his current project?) as no specific details about the films showing at the festival or the schedule have been released yet. As the festival, which will be in only its third year in 2014, happens over three days in early April it will likely be a few weeks from now before we know more.
Often such film festivals have a variety of categories so it would be no surprise to see The Coin screened in the International Film category. The irony being that ‘friend of KM UK’ Fabien is French.
Congratulations to all involved on the project receiving even more recognition.
PS. At the time of writing a US quarter (25 cents, US$0.25) is currently worth around 19 euro cents (€0.19).
There’s a word game. “Fenêtre sur cour” is the french title of Hitchcock’s Rear window, and they changed cour by courts aka courts-métrages aka short films.
Thanks Diane. I knew I could rely on you to help out.
You’re welcome!
