It is Dominique Janne, usual producer of Benoît Mariage and Benoît Poelvoorde, who proposed to Wallimage to co-produce Confiture, 2nd feature film of the Flemish director Lieven Debrauwer. The film is structured around the same elements that ensured the success of his previous film Pauline et Paulette , which was selected at Cannes, sold 250,000 tickets in Belgium and sold internationally in many territories.
This combination of an author’s eye, a quality interpretation by actors very well known in Flanders and a story for the general public is therefore likely to appeal once again to Flemish and Dutch audiences, but it also benefits from a dubbed version in French. A great experience for the Walloon Fund which co-produces on the other side of the linguistic border!
