Christian Lalumière’s short Training Session (produced by Émilie Heckmann) is in competition at SXSW 2011.
The film will be screening in Austin with two other films from Québec, namely Denis Villeneuve’s Incendies and Halima Ouardiri‘s Mokhtar .
Not missing a beat, the Quebec government is jumping into the fray to showcase Québec talent at SXSW with their own cultural campaign awkwardly called Planète Québec, launched by Culture Minister Christine St-Pierre.
Also of note, Training Session is also competing at the Festival de court-métrage francophone de Munich.
Not bad at all for a festival run…
