For the second MyFrenchShorts, Unifrance proposes Two Ships (2012), the first and only short fiction film by Justine Triet, winner of the Palme d'Or 2023 for Anatomy of a Fall at the Cannes Film Festival.
Made in 2012 with the painter Thomas Lévy-Lasne and the as yet unknown actress Laetitia Dosch, Two Ships tells the story of the wild night of a broke young painter and a crazy actress. Unable to find themselves alone, Laetitia and Thomas navigate each situation between drama and levity, until a violent event marks their encounter with a strange complicity.
An endearing, sometimes uncomfortable double portrait of financial and emotional precariousness, presented at the Berlinale 2012 (where it won the EFA Award for Best European Film), the short went on to win several major prizes (Angers, Belfort) and was nominated for a César.
This film will be available for a period of 6 months, in an English subtitled version.
Following Two Ships succes, Triet tackled feature filmmaking with Age of Panic.
Anatomy of a Fall, her fourth feature film, was awarded the Palme d'Or 2023, whose jury was presided over by the film director Ruben Östlund.
