Paris-based mk2 films has launched sales on Robert Gu\u00e9diguian\u2019s youthful 1960s West Africa-set love story\u00a0Mali Twist<\/a>\u00a0at this year\u2019s Unifrance Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, which is running online from January 13 to 15.<\/p>\n

The company has unveiled a first look image (see above)\u00a0of the feature\u00a0set against the backdrop of the febrile atmosphere of post-Colonial Mali, where youngsters danced to rock and roll music in the capital of Bamako against a backdrop of dreams of political renewal.<\/p>\n

French actors St\u00e9phane Bak and Alicia Da Luz Gomes co-star as a young socialist and a spirited young woman, who wants to escape her arranged marriage, whose paths collide.<\/p>\n

Shot on location in Senegal last year, the picture marks a rare foray for Gu\u00e9diguian away from his home city of Marseille and the surrounding region, which have been the locations of most of his filmography including recent titles\u00a0Gloria Mundi\u00a0and The House By The Sea, both of which debuted in Venice.<\/p>\n

The film was among five new French titles showcased by mk2 films in a special Rendez-Vous online presentation of Wednesday.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9line Sciamma project<\/p>\n

In other news, mk2 confirmed media reports that it was handling C\u00e9line Sciamma\u2019s upcoming film\u00a0Petite Maman.\u00a0It said it had shot in December and is currently editing but noted it would not be chasing pre-sales, preferring instead to wait for the finished film.<\/p>\n

In further announcements, the company unveiled two new French projects: Ana\u00efs Volp\u00e9\u2019s debut feature\u00a0The Braves<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Antoine Vitkine\u2019s documentary\u00a0The Savior For Sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Braves\u00a0revolves around\u00a0two inseparable best-friends and aspiring actresses, whose friendship is put to the test when one of them is cast as the lead in a high-profile play, the other as her understudy. D\u00e9borah Lukumuena, best known internationally for her performance in\u00a0Divines, co-stars opposite Souheila Yacoub, whose credits include Gaspar No\u00e9\u2019s\u00a0Climax.<\/p>\n

The Savior For Sale\u00a0explores the vagaries of the international art market, from New York to the Gulf, through the case of the infamous Leonardo da Vinci painting \u2019Salvator Mundi\u2019\u00a0which was sold at auction for $450m, in a deal that was then beset with rumours that it had not been painted by the Renaissance master.<\/p>\n

Previously-announced titles on the slate include\u00a0Carine Tardieu\u2019s taboo-breaking love story\u00a0The Young Lovers<\/a>, starring Fanny Ardant as a woman in her 70s who embarks on an affair with a married man 20 years her junior played by Melvil Poupaud, for which it showed first images. It also showed a new promo reel for Axelle Ropert\u2019s\u00a0Petite Solange<\/a>, revolving around a teenager whose world falls apart when her parents (played by L\u00e9a Drucker and\u00a0Philippe Katerine) get divorced. Both films will be ready for delivery\u00a0this spring.<\/p>\n

Productions from outside France, include\u00a0The Worst Person In The World<\/a>, the final chapter in Norwegian director Joachim Trier\u2019s Oslo trilogy, and Lebanese filmmaker\u00a0Mounia Akl\u2019s\u00a0Costa Brava Lebanon<\/a>. The film, starring Nadine Labaki and Saleh Bakri as a couple whose dreams of escape from the city are shattered by the arrival of a landfill next door to their mountain home, recently wrapped shooting in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
