(gracing San Sebastián’s New Directors section in 2014), Thomas Salvador also stars in this latest opus of his, La Montagne (produced by Christmas in July), where he shares centre stage with Louise Bourgoin. Written by the filmmaker together with Naïla Guiguet, the story revolves around Parisian engineer Pierre who travels to the Alps with work. Bowled over by his natural surrounds, he camps high up in the mountains and leaves everyday life behind him. It’s here that he meets Léa, a chef at a high-altitude restaurant. Meanwhile, mysterious lights glimmer deep in the mountains...

, whose story is now common knowledge: Benjamin is a PhD student without scholarship support. Pressured by his parents and in need of money, he becomes a supply teacher in a middle school. Lacking both in training and experience, and faced with a public education system on the decline, he discovers just how taxing the job can be.

(due for release in France on 22 June).

Likewise worth a mention is the series in post-production Letizia Battaglia (subtitled Shooting Life and Death in Palermo) by Italy’s Roberto Andò and starring Isabelle Ragonese in the role of the famous photographer who died only recently. Born in 1935 in post-war Palermo, from a very young age Letizia Battaglia aspired to freedom and independence. Held captive by her father at the age of 10, she married swiftly at 16 years of age in order to escape her abusive family but found herself newly imprisoned by a tyrannical husband who refused to let her continue her literature studies. Letizia escaped her husband when she hit thirty, spurred on by a yearning to write, and left to live in Milan with her two children. As a single mother, she provided for her family by working as a freelance reporter for various newspapers and, almost by accident, found herself with a camera between her hands… A 4 x 52-minute series produced by BiBi Film TV together with RAI Fiction and Le Pacte.
