MK2 Films Scores Brady Corbet, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Céline Sciamma Shorts (EXCLUSIVE)
MK2 Films has added shorts by Brady Corbet, Kleber Mendonça Filho and Céline Sciamma to its international sales catalogue, broadening its focus on lesser-seen work by established directors. The move gives festivals and cinemas more opportunities to programme these films and offers audiences a different view of the filmmakers’ creative work.
The acquisitions span from Corbet’s 2008 short “Protect You + Me” to Sciamma’s 44-minute “Tutti Frutti” and Mendonça Filho’s nine-minute “South of Tehran”. Sciamma’s film draws on footage she shot from 2022 and won the Jury Prize at the 2026 Villa Medici Film Festival; Mendonça Filho’s features Jafar Panahi recalling his first encounters with cinema. The catalogue also includes shorts by Jia Zhangke and the Dardenne brothers, alongside MK2’s feature-film titles.
- MK2 Films adds three shorts by established directors to its sales catalogue.
- The films span nearly two decades and include works by Sciamma and Corbet.
- The expansion aims to create new programming opportunities for cinemas and festivals.
