French horror, fantasy and sci-fi movies – in large part generated by a younger generation of directors combining genre and arthouse styles – are a rising force on the international scene. Among the companies riding this genre wave isFrench crossover films are a key programming strand at A-list festivals. For example, Cannes Directors’ Fortnight last year opened with Quentin Dupieux’s “Deerskin,” repped by French sales agent.
“Jumbo” has been sold to several territories in Asia, including Japan and Taiwan, and will be released in France in March on more than 100 screens by Rezo Films. “Genre has evolved today in a very positive way,” says Chambet. “Genre has always appealed to younger audiences, but they are now looking for unusual takes on well-known genres. Older audiences are also showing much greater acceptance of fantasy, horror and sci-fi genres, and studios are doing interesting things with genre, with pics such as ‘It’ and ‘A Quiet Place.
“Every generation has its own preferred genre,” he argues. “Young people today enjoy horror with a psychological twist. New directors, from their mid-20s to mid-30s, were raised in the DVD era and are interested in exploring the visual and narrative potential of these genres.”
