Market premieres will include Alastair Siddons’ UK documentary Turn It Loose, and Christophe Blanc’s French/Belgian co-production White As Snow (see news). The latter, a thriller starring François Cluzet and Olivier Gourmet, will be launched in French theatres by MK2 Diffusion on March 17.

At Berlin, MK2 will continue pre-sales for three French titles in post-production with their sights set on Cannes: Abdellatif Kechiche’s Black Venus (see news); Abbas Kiarostami’s The Certified Copy, starring Juliette Binoche; and Charles De Meaux’s Stretch, whose cast includes Nicolas Cazalé (Shooting Star 2008), Nicolas Duvauchelle, Fan Bing Bing and David Carradine in his final role.
