Les Films du Losange will firstly be negotiating on behalf of two titles due to be unveiled in the Cannes Première line-up: Misericordia by French director Alain Guiraudie (read our article) and the medium-length movie C'est pas moi by his compatriot Leos Carax (produced by CG Cinéma and Théo Films together with Arte France Cinéma and Scala Films), which sees the director responding to a simple question ("where are you at?") asked by the Pompidou Centre by way of lots of enquiries about the man himself and his work.

Three other titles featuring in the Official Selection steal focus within Les Films du Losange’s line-up: The Damned [+see also:

The French sales agent will also be selling La prisonnière de Bordeaux by French director Patricia Mazuy, which is set to enjoy its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight, as well as representing – on the post-production side - Lettere a Catello by Italian filmmakers Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza (awarded the Grand Prize in Critics’ Week 2013 thanks to Salvo [+see also:
