The European Film Market of the 69th Berlin Film Festival looks set to be a money-spinner for Films Boutique. Indeed, the Berlin-based sales agent is heading to the festival with one Golden Bear contender and a film that will premiere in Panorama. 

Spearheading the company’s line-up is Denis Côté’s entry in the Main Competition, Ghost Town Anthology. The director, whose Vic + Flo Saw a Bear also competed for the Golden Bear at the 2013 edition of the Berlinale and won the Alfred Bauer Prize, is returning to the gathering with a movie that centres on the impact that the death of a teenager in a car accident has on the inhabitants of a small town. 

Also sparkling on Films Boutique’s Berlinale slate is Michela Occhipinti’s Flesh Out [+lire aussi :
