‘Circles,’ Director Michel Franco
Circles marks a departure for Mexican born Michel Franco. Instead of modern-day Mexico, the Hebrew-language film is set in early-1950s, during the formative years of the State of Israel.
Co-written with Tom Shoval (Youth), it follows real-life brother and sister Meir and Shoshana Har Zion, whose lives tracked the bloody history of the region.
Produced by Alexander Rodnyansky of AR Content, Circles was acquired for France by Metropolitan, leading some to assume it would premiere in Cannes Fest.,
However, Venice Fest, where Franco won the Silver Lion for New Order in 2021, now looks the safe bet.
