★★★★☆"We began before words, and we will end beyond them." So begins Peter Krüger's mesmerising N: The Madness of Reason (2014), a spiritual journey through the memories and regrets of Raymond Borremans, a freewheeling Parisian musician turned encyclopedia enthusiast for whom Africa was his destiny - its heat his home. Borremans moved to Africa to escape Europe, soon becoming fascinated by the continent's rituals and culture before embarking on the Encyclopédie Borremans; a comprehensive study of the history and customs of Western Africa. Sadly, Borremans was never able to complete his encyclopedia, only getting as far as the letter 'N' before his death in 1988 at the grand old age of 108.

Loic Magneron’s Paris-based Wide Management has snapped up world sales rights to Dutch actress/director Tamar van den Dop’s Supernova, a deal confirmed at the Rotterdam International Film Festival (Iffr) this week.
