‘Titane’

Camerimage, the international festival for cinematographers that takes place annually in Poland, has unveiled the line-ups for its documentary features and director’s debut competitions.

The festival’s 29th edition is set to take place in person in Toruń from November 13-20, with some programming also available online. 

Among the nominees is Cannes Palme d’Or winner and France’s best international film Oscars entry, Titane, which has been nominated in Camerimage’s director’s debut category. Although it is not French director Julia Ducournau’s debut feature – she directed 2016’s Raw – the selection committee allows for first and second features to participate.

Also nominated in this category is London-born actor Rebecca Hall for her directorial debut Passing, which premiered in Sundance. The drama is set in 1929 Harlem and stars Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga as childhood friends who unexpectedly reunite in adulthood.

Netflix’s A Cop Movie, a Mexican docu-drama directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios which premiered in Berlin and has also played in San Sebastian and at the London Film Festival, has been nominated in the documentary feature category. It follows two professional actors who immerse themselves in the police force in Mexico City, where Ruizpalacios was born.
