RENDEZVOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA is an annual festival organized by the programmers at the Film Society at Lincoln Center. And since French films are such an important part of the programming mix, we decided to spend some time in the Big Apple talking to filmmakers
We were able to sit down in the lobby of the fabled Film Forum theater with filmmaker Louise Courvoisier to talk about her new film HOLY COW, her Cesar-award winning debut feature.
After winning a prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival for her short film MANO A MANO, Courvoisier returned to the Jura region in France where she grew up, and started working on a story about the hardscrabble lives of the people who make the region’s renowned Comte cheese.
Using non-professional actors, Courvoisier’s film is a beautiful and moving look into the lives of those who work in close contact with nature to create the produce which ends up in fancy shops and restaurants around the world.
You won’t want to miss HOLY COW when it comes to your local arthouse, and you don’t want to miss our conversation with the film’s creator, starting now, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE.
