The Together Project was directed by Solveig Anspach, who died last August.
Afghan fantasy drama Wolf And Sheep has picked up the Art Cinema Award at the 48th Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes.
Making Of… Wolf And Sheep
It marks the completion of a six-year journey with Cannes for Afghan director Shahrbanoo Sadat, who was 20 when selected as the youngest participant of the festival’s Cinefondation Residency, where she began to develop this debut in 2010.
Wolf And Sheep follows a group of Afghan shepherd boys and girls living in a remote village, where folklore helps explain the world’s mysteries.
Starring largely non-professional actors, Wolf And Sheep was shot in Tajikistan because it was too dangerous for the crew to shoot in Afghanistan.
The Denmark-France-Sweden-Afghanistan co-production is produced by Katja Adomeit and is being sold by Alpha Violet.
Although considered a non-competitive section, the film was selected for the sponsored prize over titles such as Pablo Larrain’s [link...

Filmmaker was in post production on comedy Aquatic Effect.
Icelandic-French filmmaker Solveig Anspach died on Friday (Aug 7), aged 54, after a battle with cancer.
The Iceland born writer-director was a graduate of La Femis in Paris.
Her fictional debut feature was 1999’s Haut les Coeurs!, which was Cesar nominated. The director, who had been diagnosed with cancer at the time, told the fictional story of a pregnant musician who is told she has cancer (played by Karin Viard, who won a Cesar for the role).
Anspach’s 2003 film Stormy Weather, about a young psychiatrist who becomes fascinated by a young woman who refuses to speak, screened in Cannes Un Certain Regard.
Her 2012 film, Queen of Montreuil, won the Lina Mangiacapre Award in Venice Days and the audience award at the Reykjavik International Film Festival.
She was in post-production on her latest film Aquatic Effect (L’effet Aquatique), which was intended as the final film in an offbeat comedy...

TORONTO -- When a panel of nine European directors gathered Monday at the Toronto International Film Festival to discuss whether a new and vital European cinema was at hand, it did not take long for them to start aiming their thoughts and barbs at Hollywood. "It's like our cinemas are being occupied with U.S. films," Icelandic filmmaker Solveig Anspach told the festival panel, pointing to Hollywood's marketing muscle and dominance in Europe. Anspach, in Toronto with her latest movie, Stormy Weather, joined the other European directors in expressing frustration with their own film markets, in which Europeans see far more American movies than homegrown ones. Major Hollywood blockbusters enjoy 80%-98% of continent-wide cinema sales in most regions.
