Melbourne, Tuesday 29 May – The Madman acquisitions team has returned from the 2012 Cannes Film Festival with deals signed on a wide ranging selection of award-winning and director-driven films from names like Robert Redford, Michel Gondry, Thomas Vinterberg and Michael Winterbottom.
Following on from yesterday’s awards announcement, two titles acquired by Madman have been recognised. Thomas Vinterberg, known for starting the ‘Dogme 95’ filmmaking movement, returns with THE HUNT which features Danish star Mads Mikkelsen. Mads was recognised with the Best Actor Award for his performance. The award for Best Screenplay went to Christian Mungiu for his film BEYOND THE HILLS. Mungiu is no stranger to Cannes, having won the 2007 Palme D’Or with 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS, 2 DAYS.
