Exclusive: Palestinian hybrid work Ghost Hunting and Brazil’s The Trace [pictured] among works to be presented.
The Marché du Film’s Producers Network at the Cannes Film Festival (May 11-22) will put the spotlight on film projects from Brazil and Palestine this year in two separate sessions scheduled for one of its networking breakfasts.
The initiative adds a new dimension to the traditional breakfast “Spotlights” which have previously focused on producers from different territories.
“The idea is to do brief presentations of the projects at the beginning of the breakfasts so that those who are interested can then set up individual meetings,” said Marché chief Jerome Paillard.
“We’re not trying to branch into co-production in any big way, the Cannes Atélier already does that, we just want to set up a framework to support these projects.”
The five other “Spotlights” will present producers from South Africa (Kwazulu Natal Region), the Netherlands, Mexico, Canada...

Danish-Palestinian filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel is set to launch a crowd-funding campaign on Dubai-based platform Aflamnah this January to finance a 2015 Oscar race bid with his award-winning documentary A World Not Ours.
The documentary, a humorous account of life in the Ein el-Helweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon, has won a slew of awards since premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012.
It is not eligible, however, for Oscar consideration because it has not been released in New York and Los Angeles as per the regulations of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
“The big question is, can a Palestinian film win an Oscar?” said Fleifel.
“My film has suffered a lot because people keep saying we’ve just had 5 Broken Cameras,” he continued, referring to Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi’s work which was Oscar short-listed last year.
“My film is the antithesis of that film. I really...
