The film, which won the top prize at Venice’s Horizons section this year, takes place in 2025 in Eastern Ukraine after a ten-year war against Russia which has left the country in ruins. “Atlantis” follows two war veterans, Sergiy and a mate, who are both affected by the war and are living in an abandoned building.
Gavron also received the Femme de Cinema Award during the festival. The Femme de Cinema Award is given by Les Arcs in partnership with Sisley and honours visionary female directors from Europe. “Rocks” opened at Toronto and won two awards at San Sebastian. It will be released by Haut et Court in France on April 29.
Underscoring its rising profile within the festival circuit, Les Arcs kicked off with the world premiere of “The Translators,” an ambitious, high-concept film directed by Regis Roinsard and produced by Alain Attal’s Tresor Films. In the veins of “Usual Suspects” and Daniel Craig-starrer “Knives Out,” “The Translators” is a whodunnit thriller inspired by recent hacking scandals involving books and films.
