“It’s coming home!” A man, who I met briefly two days ago here in Cannes and have since forgotten his name, yells at me as we bump elbows on Rue D’Antibes. It’s the first full day of Cannes Film Festival and while the eyes of the world are trained on the directors and stars of a line-up of the most anticipated movies of the year, a selection of attendees are finding themselves somewhat distracted.
Aside from the weather, perhaps the biggest difference of Cannes being staged in July is that it has landed in the final week of the Euro 2020 (not 2021) soccer tournament. For the ardent sports fans among the delegation, particularly those with national teams still in the competition, being able to watch the matches is as pressing as securing your tickets for the hottest films in town.

Gyllenhaal and Marker will produce for Nine Stories, alongside Bold Films’ Michel Litvak, Gary Michael Walters, David Litvak, and Svetlana Metkina. Bold Films will finance the pic.

Exclusive: Wme has signed Gustav Möller.
The Swedish-born helmer made his directorial debut on The Guilty, which won the Audience Award at Sundance in January. Set in just one location, the film centers on an alarm dispatcher and former police officer who answers an emergency call from a kidnapped woman. After the call disconnects, the dispatcher tries to piece together the clues to find the woman only to discover that he is grappling with a crime that is far more serious and expansive than he imagined. The film was inspired by a real 911 call Möller discovered on YouTube, and he wrote the script with Emil Nygaard Albertsen, and Lina Flint produced it. The film marked the first production from Spring, the new talent development initiative backed by Nordisk Film.
Magnolia Pictures acquired the film and will release this fall.
Möller graduated from the National Film School of Denmark in 2015 with the short film In Darkness,...

Projects participated in the Nordic festival’s works in progress event.
Ruben Ostlund got buyers and festival programmers hopping with excitement in Goteborg as he presented the first footage from his forthcoming fifth feature The Square during the festival’s work in progress pitches.
Ostlund screened about seven minutes from one scene of the new film, during which a controversial performance artist (played by Terry Notary) makes guests at a black-tie art gala very uncomfortable. “You know I love awkward situations,” the director said.
Goteborg’s audience of industry experts commented that they were impressed by the confidence of the unnerving scene, which showed Ostlund working on a bigger scale even than his last hit, Force Majeure.
At a festival session later for the public, Ostlund previewed a second clip from the film, in which a museum director (Claes Bang) delivers a self-centered video apology to a boy he had accused of being a thief.

A number of emerging Danish filmmakers are embracing a new Diy attitude, as evidenced by some exciting debuts at Copenhagen’s Cph Pix festival this week. It might not be an identifiable new wave, but it marks a new ethos.
One leading example of this Diy spirit is Thomas Daneskov’s feature debut The Elite (Eliten), produced by Lina Flint. Daneskov is just 26 years old, Flint 27.
Daneskov cut his teeth on music videos and the well-travelled, award-winning short film Puff, Puff, Pass. After being rejected, twice, from the National Film School of Denmark, he decided to just make a feature outside ‘the system’ (without applying for public funding from the Danish Film Institute).
“We just wanted to get it done, we wanted that total creative freedom,” he says. “It’s a story about youth and we wanted to do it while we are still young. It could have taken years to get ‘big money’ to do it.”
