Dear Friends at Cannes,

We are so excited that the film I produced A HIDDEN LIFE, directed by Terrence Malick, will premier in competition on the 19th! I hope to see many of you there.

I will be in Cannes and available to meet May 15 - 25 and would love to take a quick meeting to share my projects with you. I’m partnering with Donald Rosenfeld (previously of Merchant Ivory) on DINNER WITH EDWARD, Tim Disney on BRAINWASHED and Nina Menkes on HEATSTROKE.

Please contact info@marginaliamedia.com to set a meeting.

Warmly,

Elisabeth Bentley, principal

SYNOPSIS

Based on real events, A HIDDEN LIFE is the story of an unsung hero, Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. When the Austrian peasant farmer is faced with the threat of execution for treason, it is his unwavering faith and his love for his wife, Fani, and children that keeps his spirit alive.
