With their latest triumph, EMILIA PÉREZ, producers Pascal Caucheteux and Grégoire Sorlat continue their over 30 year legacy of supporting provocative, auteur-driven cinema through their company Why Not Productions. With a roster of films, directed by internationally acclaimed artists like CLAIRE DENIS, KEN LOACH, ARNAUD DESPLECHIN, LYNNE RAMSAY, CRISTIAN MUNGIU and GREGG ARAKI, that have collected over a dozen major awards at the Cannes Film Festival and multiple Academy Award Nominations, Why Not Productions has had an undeniably global impact on cinema.
Why Not has established a reputation for producing quality films that often challenges conventional narratives and explores complex themes, and has become known for its willingness to take risks on ambitious projects and support visionary storytellers. Their commitment to film extends beyond producing, restoring CLAUDE LANZMANN'S landmark documentary SHOAH, which is having its 40 year anniversary premiere at Berlinale.
With their fifth collaboration with Jacques Audiard, and with the help of Why Not producer Pauline Lamy, they made history with the record-breaking EMILIA PÉREZ, now the most nominated non-English language film in the history of the Academy Awards with 13 nominations. In celebration of EMILIA PÉREZ, we are proud to present this retrospective series of films made possible by Why Not Productions. ❖ |
