- Haut et Court acquires French rights to Viva, Aina Clotet’s debut film, ahead of its Cannes Critics’ Week premiere.
- Cannes Critics’ Week runs from May 13‑21 with seven feature films, including Viva, competing for the 65th edition.
- Loco Films organized the pre‑festival industry screening that led to the acquisition and also showcases other Cannes titles such as Avril Besson’s Marvelous Mornings.
Why it matters: Haut et Court locks French rights to Viva, giving the film a theatrical debut and boosting its sales; French arthouse fans gain a vibrant new title, while rival distributors lose a prime Cannes slot, strengthening Haut et Court’s market clout.
