Two world premieres from women directors, selected for the Tribeca Film Festival (7-18 June 2023) in the International Narrative Competition will be getting a promotional push with EFP’s Film Sales Support (FSS).

Recipient world sales company Totem Films represents and sells Dead Girls Dancing (Germany 2023), director Anna Roller’s deput feature film, a road-trip movie of 3 female high-school graduates who experiment with a new-found freedom. Roller was part of EFP’s Future Frames project in Karlovy Vary in 2019 with her short film, The Last Children of Paradise.

Pulsar Content is receiving FSS backing for Marinette (France 2023) by Virginei Verrier about soccer legend Pichon, the first French player to have a career in the US.
