  • Description:

    Strand Releasing is proud to announce the US release of STAYING VERTICAL, French writer-director Alain Guiraudie’s new provocative and genre-defying character study about a filmmaker struggling with creativity, responsibility, fatherhood, and sexuality. A selection of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival competition and the New York Film Festival, STAYING VERTICAL is scheduled to open in New York on Friday, January 20 at The Film Society of Lincoln Center and the IFC Center, followed by a national roll out.

    Léo (Damien Bonnard), a blocked filmmaker seeking inspiration in the French countryside for an overdue script, begins an affair with a shepherdess (India Hair), with whom he almost immediately has a child. Combining the formal control of his 2013 breakthrough Stranger by the Lake with the shape-shifting fabulism of his earlier work, Alain Guiraudie’s new film, which often veers towards surreal black comedy, is a sidelong look at the human cycle of birth, procreation, and death, as well as

    *Distinguished Eugene J. Sheffer Lecture by Dany Laferrière Lecture in French

    Dany Laferrière’s Journal d'un écrivain en pyjama started off as a how-to book about writing, but quickly evolved into a 320-page exploration of writing that includes “notes, reflections, meditations and digressions,” and advice to aspiring authors in the form of stories. According to the author, “I thought that a how-to book might be a bit dreary. It would only be of interest to those who write. So instead of focusing on the writer who writes, I broadened my scope to all aspiring writers: the writer in pyjamas. To me, the writer in pyjamas has every right to write even if he doesn’t get published.”

    Dany Laferrière is a Haitian-Canadian novelist and journalist who writes in French. He was elected to the Académie française in 2013 and inducted in May 2015, becoming the first Haitian, the first Canadian and the first Quebecois to receive that honor.  He is the author of twenty books, be
