Cannes Critic's Week at the 12th FICM

Since its beginning, FICM has maintained a solid partnership with the Critics’ Week, a parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival. Thanks to this close relationship, every year various works of FICM are presented at the Critics’ Week (you can read about the 2014 event here) and several of the films from the Critics’ Week are shown in Morelia, with the presence of some of their directors and actors. 

The films of Critics’ Week 2014 that will be shown to the public in Morelia are the following:

1.    The Tribe by Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy (Ukraine). Winner of the Nespresso Grand Prize, the Revelation Prize and the Distribution Grant from the Fundación Gan.
2.    Hope by Boris Lojkine (France). Winner of the SACD Prize.
3.    Gente de bien by Franco Lolli (Colombia)
4.    It Follows by David Robert Mitchell (United States)
5.    Più Buio Di Mezzanote by Sebastiano Riso (Italy)
6.    Respire by Mélanie Laurent (France)
7.    Self Made by Shira Geffen (Israel)
8.    When Animals Dream by Jonas Alexander Arnby (Denmark)

Since its founding by the French Union of Film Critics in 1962, the Critics’ Week has maintained the tradition of discovering and supporting emerging filmmakers, programming their first and second works at the Cannes Film Festival. This year, Daniela Michel, general director of FICM, was a member of the jury of the 53rd edition of the Critics’ Week.
