Paris-based sales andproduction outfit Celluloid Dreams is to handle sales on Camera D'Or winnerNaomi Kawase's new feature, provisionally titled Mogari No Mori. The film, in post-production and likely to be vyingfor a place in official selection in Cannes, is about an old man saying goodbyeto his dead widow. This old man copes with his grief by writing letters to hisdead wife. Celluloid Dreams is co-producing the film with Kawase.

Mogari No Mori joins another new Asian project on the Celluloidslate: Triangle, which is beingco-directed by three cult Hong Kong directors: Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam &Johnnie To.

The new project will have anunusual narrative structure, with the three directors working in relay. TsuiHark will begin the film for Ringo Lam to take the same characters and develophis own plot, the mantle will then be handed to Johnnie To to conclude thestory. The idea is that each director will bring his own distinctive style tothe film.
