Talents Alumni at Cannes Semaine de la Critique 2024
As soon we read that 2021 Berlinale Talents alumni Eliane Umuhire had been selected to sit on the Jury of the 63rd Semaine de la Critique, we knew it was going to be a good one. Add that good news to the 12 films in selection featuring the work of 19 alumni, and we can be sure it is. Among those selected for Competition is "Locust" by KEFF, which was developed at our Script Station in 2022.
