## Summary

Kinology has been appointed international sales agent for "The Green Eyes," the new film from Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh, the directing duo behind "Gagarine," and has already pre-sold the title to several territories ahead of its Locarno Film Festival opening. The deal marks a significant early vote of confidence in the pair's follow-up feature, which will have the honour of opening this year's festival on the Piazza Grande, underscoring their standing among prominent contemporary French filmmakers.

The film has been pre-sold to Benelux (Cinart), Switzerland (Filmcoopi), Turkey (Chantier) and the former Yugoslavia region (MCF), with French distribution handled by producer Haut et Court; it is produced by June Films and Haut et Court, and co-produced by Les Films du Fleuve and Hobab. "The Green Eyes" opens Locarno on 5 August and follows a young girl, Chaya, whose brother Nour falls into a mysterious sleep after their family faces eviction, a storyline inspired by real-life cases of "resignation syndrome" affecting children of asylum seekers; the directors said they researched the condition with doctors and recovered patients to ground the film's blend of social realism and fantasy.
