Monsieur Lazhar wins Audience Award in Rotterdam
The UPC Audience Award of the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2012 goes to Philippe Falardeau’s MONSIEUR LAZHAR (Canada, 2011). The award comes with prize money of 10,000 Euro.
The Dioraphte Award (also 10,000 Euro) for the highest-scoring film in the audience poll among the seventeen festival films made with support from the Hubert Bals Fund was won by GOODBYE by Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof.
IFFR 2012 counted 274,000 visits to films, exhibitions, performances and events. The first Curaçao IFFR will take place from 29 March through 1 April 2012 in Willemstad; the 42nd International Film Festival Rotterdam from 23 January through 3 February 2013.

2011 the year of all records for France
I am simply amazed by the number of records broken by the french film industry last year AND wanted to take a moment to share the salute with you, and them. •2011 was, in my view, one of the best Cannes selection in years, with Awards everyone agreed to be well deserved and well balanced. •215 M admissions, a record (going back to 1966 levels, pre facebook, pre TV, pre world Cup audience...) •Record percentage of cinema attendance 65.6% of French population saw a film: crisis what crisis?. ("Let us go to the movies to forget"...) •Record 41% of Box Office take from local films, "cocorico", Rien à déclarer, Intouchables...16 film scored over a million admissions •18,4 M admissions and counting...for "Intouchables", amazing score for a good comedy with good positive human feelings and attitude (5% of benefits go to a charity!) •And of course 10 Oscar nominations (6 Golden Globes, 12 Bafta...) a loud salute for a silent film (so creative, but only 1.5M admissions before the french relaunch)

LA Fest appoints Stephanie Allain, producer with stellar track record
Film Independent, the non-profit arts organization that produces the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Spirit Awards, announced the selection of accomplished film producer Stephanie Allain as its new Los Angeles Film Festival Director, starting immediately.
She succeeds Rebecca Yeldham, who recently elected to step down for personal reasons. Stephanie will be working closely with Festival Managing Director Gloria Campbell and Festival Artistic Director David Ansen, as well as Associate Director of Programming Doug Jones, Senior Programmer Maggie Mackay and Programming Coordinator Jenn Wilson.


“Stephanie has served on the Film Independent Board of Directors since 2007 and been involved in many aspects of the organization. She's chaired the Spirit Awards Nominating Committee and been a huge supporter of Project Involve, as well as our year-round educational programs,” said Co-President Sean Mc Manus. “Stephanie has a clear vision for the Festival, a stellar track record as a producer and a deep commitment to the Festivalʼs filmmaker-centric focus.”
