*** #tafff2024 *** DID YOU MISS IT AT TAFFF 2024 ? *** OPENING THIS FRIDAY ON DIGITAL IN THE US (4/18): A DANGEROUS FRIENDSHIP, a series (4 x 52) History, Drama, Romance. Created by Alain Tasma, Henri Helman. Written by Alain Tasma, Henri Helman, Ève de Castro. Based on the Historical Saga by Juliette Benzoni. Directed by Alain Tasma.
Starring Kelly Depeault, Stephanie Gil, Jérémy Gillet, Stanley Weber, Arthur Dupont, Clémentine Poidatz, Raïka Hazanavicius, Grégoire Colin, Jack Laskey, Patrick D’assumçao, Maya Sansa.
Official Selection: Séries Mania 2024 (winner Best Actor Jérémy Gillet). Official Competition: TAFFF 2024 (North American Premiere). In French with English subtitles. A Walter Presents, PBS release. Opening in the US on April 18, 2025.
.
(Adapted from Juliette Benzoni’s historical romance novels, Marie des Intrigues and Marie des passions, Alain Tasma’s four-part series delves into the fierce bond that develops between two startlingly different, yet equally powerful, women in 17th century France. The free-spirited Marie de Rohan, Duchess of Chevreuse, is as sensual as she is daring, and fearless when it comes to using her sexuality to wield political influence. Anne of Austria, Queen of France, is a shy, extremely proud, straight-laced young woman who was married to Louis XIII at the age of 14, then quickly abandoned by the feverish, impotent monarch. Marie sets out to bring the royal couple back together, bringing a lust for life and spontaneity into the staid household… as well as more than a few scandals.)

.
(Scrappy 18-year-old Totone is as irresponsible as they come, partying all night and sleeping it off all day. So his father’s sudden death is like a splash of cold water across his face, thrusting him into adulthood without warning. Now forced to care for his little sister, tend the failing family farm and somehow make a living, he decides that his magical “big fix” will come by winning a gold medal for the best Comté cheese at the next agricultural competition… and collecting the €30,000 grand prize. But attaining discipline, not to mention culinary excellence, is not nearly as easy as he thinks. It’s a little like his best buddy’s beloved stock car racing — sometimes you have to take a tumble or two before you can move forward. Louise Courvoisier‘s coming-of-age first feature, Holy Cow, illustrates that bumpy path to maturity in minute, heartfelt detail.)

(Scrappy 18-year-old Totone is as irresponsible as they come, partying all night and sleeping it off all day. So his father’s sudden death is like a splash of cold water across his face, thrusting him into adulthood without warning. Now forced to care for his little sister, tend the failing family farm and somehow make a living, he decides that his magical “big fix” will come by winning a gold medal for the best Comté cheese at the next agricultural competition… and collecting the €30,000 grand prize. But attaining discipline, not to mention culinary excellence, is not nearly as easy as he thinks. It’s a little like his best buddy’s beloved stock car racing — sometimes you have to take a tumble or two before you can move forward. Louise Courvoisier‘s coming-of-age first feature, Holy Cow, illustrates that bumpy path to maturity in minute, heartfelt detail.)

TAFFF’s lineup this year has been outstanding in many ways and highlights the importance of cultural collaboration in bringing bold and inspiring stories to the world.
We can’t thank enough all of the French directors, writers, producers, composers and film professionals who came to present their film in Los Angeles and exchange with the audience and American professionals.

Congratulations to all who won a César Award, the French equivalent to the Academy Award.

All panels and Q&As are available on our youtube channel via the #parlonscinema, #taffftalks and #happyhourtalks playlists!
