48th Résidence du Festival de Cannes: Animalia’s Sofia Alaoui Among the Half Dozen Invites

Franco-Moroccan filmmaker Sofia Alaoui (behind the brilliant Sundance Grand Prize-winning short So What If the Goats Die (2020) and the equally mystical supernatural bowl of soup feature in 2023’s Animalia) is among the half dozen invited guests to the Résidence of the Festival de Cannes — essentially the festival sets up burgeoning filmmakers to set up shop at an apartment building in Paris to workshop their latest projects with industry folk.
