The documentary arm of Mediawan Rights, the sales arm of burgeoning European content group Mediawan, is making its Cannes debut with two new documentaries.
It is kicking off sales on Eric Hannezo and Matthieu Vollaire’s immersive black and white rugby documentary Le Stade about French rugby union club Stade Toulousain. It follows the squad in the lead up to its record fifth European Champions Cup win in May 2021.
The film was launched theatrically in France by event cinema label Pathé Live on April 13. It is produced by documentary company Black Dynamite Films. The Mediawan subsidiary is also behind the biographical work Salam in Official Selection.
The company is also launching sales on Rodolphe Marconi’s Les Enfants following the daily lives of children growing up in care. It follows his award-winning documentary 2021 Cyrille about a struggling dairy farmer faced with mounting debts.
Mediawan Rights is also handling Cannes Classics title Gérard Philipe, The Last Winter by Patrick Jeudy, marking the centenary of the birth of the late French star, who died at the age of 37-years-old in 1959.
It was produced for France Télévisions by Temp Noir, the production company behind the festival hit Kubrick By Kubrick.
