Summary
What's it like taking a film that's 70% finished to the Cannes Film Market? Filmmaker Alain Furcajg joins me today to talk about that very question and his insightful, beautiful -- and time-sensitive - documentary RETURN TO BRITTANY, which he is hoping to finish up in the coming year before the story becomes impossible to tell due to the age of the participants. (With a potential guest appearance by Tilda Swinton on a bicycle. We'll never know.) In this episode, we discuss: the story behind RETURN TO BRITTANY and what he's looking for at Cannes; why he's there with a 70% finished documentary and the feedback he's received so far; how he got involved in documentary filmmaking; what is it like pitching this project at the Cannes Market; is it easier to be French here?; his contrary view about European filmmaking and the difficulties in getting projects made Alain's Indie Filmmaker Highlight: Ruben Östlund Links: Watch The Trailer For RETURN TO BRITTANY Follow Alain On Instagram AF Films Website
