Hollywood, Calif., February 1, 2018 - Netflix today announced the acquisition of the award-winning French-Canadian film Les Affam s, written and directed by Robin Aubert (Saint Martyrs of the Damned, Crying Out), one of the most unique voices in Qu b cois cinema.
The critically acclaimed film stars Marc-Andr Grondin, Monia Chokri, Micheline Lanct t, Brigitte Poupart, Charlotte St-Martin, Marie-Ginette Guay Luc Proulx and douard Tremblay-Grenier. The film is produced by St phanie Morissette and C.S. Roy of La maison de prod (Montreal).
In Les Affam s, Aubert returns to his horror roots to tell the story of a changed small and remote village in upstate Quebec. Locals are not the same anymore--their bodies are breaking down and they have turned against their loved ones. A handful of survivors goes hiding into the woods, looking for others like them.
Les Affam s enraptured audiences in Canada and we're delighted to bring this unique Qu b cois voice to other countries around the world, said Scott Stuber, head of Netflix's film group. From the U.S. to Japan to France, millions of Netflix members will be able to stream Robin Aubert's extraordinary thrill ride. This is another exciting example of the investment the company is making in Canadian culture and bringing its stories and artists to the world.
I am so excited that viewers around the world will get the chance to watch Les Affam s. Im also proud for the Netflix audience to experience its thrills and chills in its original Qu b cois version, my mother tongue, which is so rich and colorful, full of history and mystery, something that fully characterizes my universe as a filmmaker, said writer/director Robin Aubert. Even if I truly believe in mankind, I'm terrified when rage and hate get the best of us. Les Affam s echoes the current state in western societies. Making a zombie movie was my own personal way of expressing both my fears and hopes about whats lying ahead of us.
Les Affam s premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September 2017 where it won Best Canadian Feature, and later played Fantastic Fest, Montreal Festival du nouveau cin ma where it won the Temps Audience Award, The Sitges - International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, and Torino Film Festival. Les Affam s is a Les Films Christal presentation of a La Maison de Prod production. Sara May of Paris-based Alma Cinema handled international sales.
The film was released theatrically in Canada in October 2017 and is now nominated for five Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture. In December, TIFF named the film to its list of 2017's ten best Canadian films.
Les Affam s will be available March 2, 2018, on Netflix in markets around the world, with the exceptions of Canada, Latin America and Eastern Europe. It will be available to Canadian Netflix members starting next year.
