Last week I uncovered that Brady Corbet was the American Guest of Honour at the Champs-Élysées Film Festival being held between 7 & 14 June 2016 and wondered whether there would be some kind of screening of Robert Pattinson “The Childhood of a Leader”.  Well it now looks like the film will have a screening as part of Brady Corbet’s Carte Blanche. If you click on Fout is in Death (Claire Denis – nice touch) and Sous Le Soleil De Satan (Maurice Pialat) it states “Session presented by Brady Corbet”, but interestingly nothing is mentioned yet on TCOAL’s dedicated page. Still it has a dedicated page so that must mean something and if you look at 2015, when Josh & Benny Safdie were Guests of Honour, their Carte Blanche films all had screenings. Stay tuned as the schedule is yet to be released – so I will most definitely keep you posted.

Looks like Brady has added a few more films to his Cart Blanche which he will present at 7pm on 9 June 2016 at Lincoln, but more importantly we now have a date and time for the screening of The Childhood of a Leader – 9 June 2016 at 8.45 pm.

It is AMAZING what you find to share with us, Maria. I don’t know how you do it, but thank you.
Sorry I’m a little MIA at the moment, just juggling stuff. But even if I don’t comment, I try to sneak a peek (sometimes at the most inappropriate times on my iPhone!) whenever I can.
