Göteborg Film Festival proudly congratulates all Göteborg Film Fund recipients selected for Cannes. The Ukranian feature debut Pamfir, by Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk, produced by Alexandra Kostina for Bosonfilm, together with Les Films D’Ici, Madants and Quijote, has been selected for the 54th edition of the Directors’ Fortnight.
