Annie Ernaux is one of the great, living authors; a deeply personal wordsmith with an unconventional writing style, blending the line between reality and fiction, using her life experiences to write memories that are both stirring and fascinating, poetic and striking. She allows her readers the chance to understand not only the life she has led, but the world she grew up in, and so needless to say for her fans – and newcomers – the opportunity to have visual images illustrate her memories makes for truly compelling viewing, so needless to say, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with the literary icon to discuss documentary The Super 8 Years. Bringing together home videos from across her life, we discuss the film with her in Paris, alongside her son David Ernaux-Briot, who also features prominently within the movie, and has a co-director credit alongside his mother.

Literary ambition, motherhood and a quietly strained marriage appear in the sweet, soft focus home movies of French author Annie Ernaux
Annie Ernaux ascended to a new plane of international prominence with last year’s Nobel prize for literature and the 2021 Venice Golden Lion for Audrey Diwan’s movie version of her novel Happening. Now here is a diverting, if minor footnote to her life; with her grownup son David Ernaux-Briot she has curated this presentation of her family’s Super 8 home movies from the early 70s to the early 80s. In this period she was raising two young children and semi-secretly embarking on a literary career whose growing success would put strain on her marriage, although this is one of many things she does not discuss in detail.

Miyazaki had originally retired after completing The Wind Rises (2013), but returned to work in 2016 to make a film inspired by a 1937 children’s novel by Yoshino Genzaburo that he is particularly fond of. The film, tentatively titled How Do You Live, will open in theaters in Japan on July 14, 2023 and has been unveiled with enigmatic artwork (above) showing some kind of bird-like figure. Among the films chosen for this year’s induction into the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry are Frederick Wiseman’s Titicut Follies (1967), Marlon Riggs’s Tongues Untied (1989), and Jon Favreau’s Iron Man (2008). Good luck trying to draw a connecting line between the 25 films that made the selection.

French author and now filmmaker Annie Ernaux is having a year. She was just awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize for literature. Her autobiographical L’Événement was adapted by director Audrey Diwan into the critically acclaimed Happening, released last spring. And this weekend, Kino Lorber presents her directorial debut, The Super 8 Years, at Film at Lincoln Center and Dctv Firehouse in NYC, expanding to LA and select markets through January.
The Super 8 Years, a visual extension of Ernaux’s decades-long literary quest to distill the past and future, is culled from home movies taken between 1972 and 1981, after her husband Philippe acquired an 8mm camera that became a family fixture. The film, a collaboration with her son David Ernaux-Briot, had its world premiere at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight and screened at Busan, Rome, New York and Zurich Film Festivals. It’s a range of times and places, from holidays and family events in suburban France to trips in Albania,...

Parting Glances: Ernaux Ponders the Past with Intimate Documentary Debut
Although a prominent novelist in France over the past several decades, writer Annie Ernaux has gained recent international acclaim thanks to adaptations of her bestsellers Passion Simple (2020) and last year’s Golden Lion Winner Happening (2021), directed by Audrey Diwan. Ernaux’s private life has significantly shaped her oeuvre, so those experienced with her work, whether in print or film, should find her documentary debut The Super 8 Years, co-directed by her son, David Ernaux-Briot, equally intimate and thought provoking.
Narrating spliced together family footage from 1972 to 1981, beginning when a Super 8 camera was purchased and ending on a final family trip before she divorced her husband, Philippe, Ernaux shares personal memories and feelings while also commenting on the significance of these experiences reflecting cultural goals and aspirations of a particular social class during a particular time post-1968’s civil unrest.…

As we enter the final month of the year, much of our focus will be on wrapping up 2022 in cinema with a number of features. In terms of new releases, there are a number of notable offerings sneaking in at the end of the year and we’ve rounded up the essentials.
There are also a few caveats: we didn’t include a handful of stellar films that have qualifying runs and will be properly released in 2023—including One Fine Morning, Return to Seoul, and Saint Omer. And a number of Netflix titles will arrive on their platform this month, but received theatrical releases beginning last month, so they were featured on our November list.
Check out our December picks to see below.

Kino Lorber has acquired North American rights to “The Super 8 Years,” Annie Ernaux’s documentary feature which world premiered at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight. Represented in international markets by Totem Films, the intimate archival documentary is directed Ernaux and her son David Ernaux-Briot.
Ernaux, who will receive the Nobel Prize for Literature on Dec. 10., is one of France’s best known authors. Her body of work has often been inspired by her own life, capturing the inner turmoils of women and shedding light on societal and cultural changes in France from the 1960’s onwards.
One of her autobiographical novels, “L’evenement” told the story of a young woman risking her life to get an illegal abortion in 1960’s France. The book was turned into into the award-winning film “Happening” by Audrey Diwan.
Kino Lorber will release “The Super 8 Years” theatrically and at the Film at Lincoln Center in New York on Dec.

At a brisk 60 minutes, Annie Ernaux and David Ernaux-Briot’s mother-son collaboration The Super 8 Years doesn’t leave time for introductions. Ernaux, a recent Nobel Prize winner, narrates each scene, which was shot some 50 years earlier by her then-husband Philippe. She talks about herself in both first- and third-person terms, oscillating between closeness and distance from this material. The film becomes an examination of youth, family, travel, and our place in the world.
Ernaux and Ernaux-Briot compile Super 8 footage shot over a decade’s length—starting in 1972, a time of familial closeness and stability of their nuclear unit. Their documentary follows Ernaux as she writes her first novels, and the family as they travel around the world, experiencing different cultures. The couple travel to Chile, Albania, Germany, and around the rest of Europe. She discusses the political situations in each place, their level of access, the state of affairs...

For Annie Ernaux fans, The Super 8 Years is something better than a movie—it’s effectively a new Ernaux novella, assembled from home movie footage shot by her late ex-husband Philippe Ernaux and directed by her son David. The author reads her text over a trim 61 minutes, assembled from footage shot by Philippe beginning in 1972, when he first bought a Bell & Howell super 8 camera, until their separation in 1981. Ernaux’s memoirs have examined her life while rarely overlapping what’s recalled from one book to another, which is true here even as what we see fills out her work: […]

Rays of promotional sunshine will highlight 46 European finished and unfinished films at this year’s Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival (17–28 May 2022).
‘Triangle of Sadness’ by Ruben Östlund (Sweden, France, Germany, UK/ Coproduction Office)
21 international sales agents are drawing on Film Sales Support (Fss) - totalling €78,000 - to bolster and innovate promotion and marketing campaigns of brand-new films to trigger sales to countries outside of Europe at one of the most prestigious markets of the year. Overseas buyers on-site and off-site will have the fortune to catch sight of a number of new films from Europe premiering at the Croisette.
Amongst the many to be discovered at the Marché are Competition titles, Pacifiction by Albert Serra (Spain, Portugal, Germany/Films Boutique,France), Triangle of Sadness by Ruben Östlund (Sweden, France, Germany, UK/Coproduction Office), Boy from Heaven by Tarik Saleh (Sweden, France, Finland, Denmark/Memento International), Un Certain Regard titles, Metronom by Alexandru Belc (Romania, France/Pyramide International) and Rodeo by Lola Quivoron (France/Les Films du Losange) as well as films in Directors’ Fortnight, Will-o'-the-wisp by Joao Pedro Rodrigues (Portugal, France/ Films Boutique,Germany) and The Super 8 Years by Annie Ernaux & David Ernaux-Briot (France/Totem Films).
For the first time, Fss will also be awarded to a Ukrainian film in solidarity with the country. Indie Sales is the happy recpient for its film Pamfir by Ukrainian director, Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk, a multi-coproduction between the Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany, Chile and Luxembourg. By a lucky twist, 3 of Efp’s Producers on the Move and their films will benefit from the support indirectly: Sick of Myself by Kristoffer Borgli (producer Andrea Berentsen Ottmar from Norway/Memento International), The Woodcutter Story by Mikko Myllylahti (producer Derk-Jan Warrink from the Netherlands) and Tel Aviv Beirut by Michale Boganim (producer Janine Teerling from Cyprus/Wt Films).
13 European films in the companies’ line-ups are yet unfinished but ready to be announced and promoted.
