Alice Diop drama feature wins Silver Lion and Venice Award for a debut film.
Alice Diop has won Silver Lion and the Venice award for a debut film at the Venice Film Festival, for her critically acclaimed feature film, SAINT OMER.
The film is produced by SRAB Films, the Paris based production company founded in 2015 by Toufik Ayad and Christophe Barral that recently joined Asacha Media Group.
SRAB Films works with a new generation of French filmmakers, in touch with latest social transformations such as Alice Diop or Ladj Ly, director of Les Misérables, which was awarded the Jury Prize at Cannes 2019.
Asacha co-founders and CEOs, Gaspard de Chavagnac and Marina Williams, said: “We are thrilled for the incredibly talented Alice Diop and our new partners Toufik and Christophe, on their win at Venice. This film is not only a beautifully crafted piece of art but an important commentary on our society. We couldn’t be happier that SRAB Films has recently joined our growing team of innovative and successful production companies that have quality storytelling at their core. The recognition Saint-Omer receives has just started.”
