Cohen Media Group is pleased to announce the US release of BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, filmmaker and novelist Emmanuel Carrère’s adaptation of investigative journalist Florence Aubenas’ best-selling nonfiction book The Night Cleaner. In this longtime passion project for Juliette Binoche, the Academy Award® winner plays a reporter going undercover to investigate the exploitation of France’s workers without job security at the height of the economic crisis. 
 
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS will open on Friday, August 11 in New York (Quad Cinema) and Los Angeles (Laemmle’s Royal) followed by a national expansion.
 
Renowned reporter Marianne Winckler (Juliette Binoche) goes undercover, immersing herself in the crowd of job seekers without special qualifications, eventually landing a job as a night cleaner on a ferry that crosses the English Channel. As she learns more about the plight of these workers living on the margins, Marianne grows closer to her new female comrades, particularly single mother of three Christèle (non-professional actress Hélène Lambert, nominated for a César), while simultaneously beginning to harbor ethical concerns that she will be complicit in their exploitation when she returns to Paris and writes a book about her experiences. 
 
One of France’s most acclaimed international reporters for leading publications Le Monde, Libération and Le Nouvel Observateur, Florence Aubenas agreed to have The Night Cleaner adapted for the screen only if Emmanuel Carrère directed it. One of France’s foremost authors, described by The New Yorker as "France's best-known writer of literary nonfiction, he is best known for his award-winning "nonfiction novels" including The Adversary, (adapted for the screen by Nicole Garcia), Lives Other than My OwnMy Life as a Russian Novel, The Kingdom, Yoga, as well as fictionalized biographies of Philip K. Dick (I Am Alive and You Are Dead), Russian avant-gardiste turned ultra-right-wing politician (Limonov), and many essays on politics, culture, and crime, Carrère has been profiled in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and The Nation, among others. Starting out as a film critic, Carrère’s first book was a monograph on Werner Herzog. He has served on the competition juries of the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. BETWEEN TWO WORLDS marks his return to directing for the first time since the 2005 screen adaptation of his book La Moustache.
 
Juliette Binoche is the subject of a retrospective to be held at the Quad Cinema from August 4th to 10th leading up to the release of BETWEEN TWO WORLDS. Films selected from the 
Academy Award®, César, 
Berlin, Cannes, and Venice 
Best Actress Award winner’s distinguished f
ilmography

Greenwich Entertainment is pleased to announce the US release of the twisted and emotionally taut drama MADELEINE COLLINS, directed and co-written by Antoine Barraud, with French-Belgian star Virginie Efira (most recently acclaimed for her performance in Alice Winocour’s Revoir Paris) as a woman leading a secret double life. MADELEINE COLLINS will open on Friday, August 18 in New York (IFC Center) and Los Angeles (at Laemmle's Royal and Laemmle’s Town Center, Encino) followed by nationwide Amazon and Apple TV release on August 29.
 
Judith (Virginie Efira)’s life is split between two households in two countries. In Switzerland, she is Margot, a translator who lives with Abdel (Quim Gutierrez) and the little girl they are raising. In France, she is known as Judith and lives a glamorous life with acclaimed orchestra conductor Melvil (Bruno Salomone) and their two older boys. This fragile balance, based on complex lies and tightly scheduled back-and-forth trips, gradually begins to crack and veer dangerously off the rails. The mysterious reasons for her lies, and the complications that ensue from her efforts to keep the two lives separate, propel the third narrative feature from Antoine Barraud anchored by a virtuoso turn from Efira in all of her character’s many guises.
 
Barraud’s first feature, The Sinkholes, with Mathieu Amalric, premiered at the Locarno Film Festival; his second feature, Portrait of the Artist, with director Bertrand Bonello, Pascal Greggory and Jeanne Balibar premiered at the Berlin Film Festival’s Forum. He has also produced films by auteurs including Tsai Ming-liang (Madam Butterfly), Joao Pedro Rodrigues (The Ornithologist, Locarno's Director's Award), and avant-garde filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin (Age is…). 
 
"[Virginie Efira]’s central performance carries Antoine Barraud’s intriguing, cleverly structured psychological thriller in which a woman attempts to sustain a fraught double life. Elegantly handled and suspenseful...The spider’s web of a plot hooks you.” — Allan Hunter, Screen 
 
"Alongside Efira’s fraught and measured performance, which shows how well she can deal with many conflicting emotions within the same scene, the strong supporting cast includes Israeli auteur Nadav Lapid, who earnestly plays a lowlife forger smitten by Judith (or Margot or Madeleine), and actress-director Valérie Donzelli-- Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

En poursuivant son plaidoyer pour l'éducation bilingue avec "La Révolution Bilingue", Fabrice Jaumont fait un nouveau pas en avant avec son dernier ouvrage, "Conversations sur le bilinguisme". Ce travail, significatif et pertinent, va au-delà d'une simple promotion du bilinguisme. Jaumont prône le plurilinguisme, appuie avec vigueur les familles et les communautés multilingues, et favorise la compréhension interculturelle. Il plaide pour que la maîtrise de la langue soit vue comme une compétence vitale, en poussant au développement et à la mise en œuvre de programmes éducatifs de haute qualité, valorisant la diversité et combattant fermement les inégalités.

Fabrice Jaumont est un auteur et éducateur français de renommée internationale, connu pour son engagement en faveur de l'éducation bilingue. Ses nombreux écrits, qui ont été traduits en plusieurs langues, ont alimenté et enrichi le débat sur l'importance et les avantages du bilinguisme. Dans "Conversations sur le bilinguisme", il aborde des questions que nous sommes nombreux à nous poser : Les bilingues sont-ils meilleurs en multitâche ? Sont-ils plus intelligents que les monolingues ? Comment rendre l'éducation bilingue accessible à tous les enfants ? Pourquoi les bilingues mélangent-ils les mots ? Quel est le meilleur âge pour commencer une nouvelle langue ? Ce sont des interrogations qui interpellent souvent l'esprit de ceux qui sont intéressés par le bilinguisme et son impact sur l'éducation.

En quête de réponses, Jaumont a rassemblé une équipe de spécialistes de renommée mondiale pour partager leurs points de vue et leurs recherches sur ces sujets. Ana-Inés Ansaldo, chercheuse argentine et canadienne, aborde l'influence du bilinguisme sur le développement du cerveau et le vieillissement. Ellen Bialystok, l'une des principales expertes mondiales sur les effets cognitifs du bilinguisme, présente des preuves de recherche démontrant les avantages cognitifs du bilinguisme tout au long de la vie. Mbacké Diagne, expert sénégalais en éducation multilingue, aborde l'importance d'intégrer les langues locales dans l'éducation pour préserver la diversité culturelle. Ofelia García, professeure et chercheuse américaine, discute de l'importance du développement des compétences multilingues pour l'intégration sociale et la réussite éducative. François Grosjean, pionnier de la recherche sur le bilinguisme, explique la complexité et les défis de la vie bilingue, notamment le code-switching. Christine Hélot, chercheuse française et militante pour le plurilinguisme, aborde le rôle de l'école dans la promotion du bilinguisme et la diversité linguistique.

Le livre présente également des ressources et des stratégies pour les parents qui cherchent à favoriser le bilinguisme chez leurs enfants, des discussions sur les politiques linguistiques, ainsi que des réflexions sur l'avenir du bilinguisme et de l'éducation multilingue. "Conversations sur le bilinguisme" se révèle être une lecture essentielle pour les parents, les éducateurs et tous ceux qui cherchent à comprendre le potentiel et les défis de l'éducation bilingue. Le livre n'est pas seulement une analyse théorique du bilinguisme ; il est aussi une célébration de la diversité linguistique et un appel à l'action pour une éducation inclusive et équitable. En un mot, le bilinguisme, selon Fabrice Jaumont et ses prestigieux invités, n'est pas simplement une compétence utile, c'est une vision du monde, une philosophie de vie. En explorant la richesse du bilinguisme, nous nous rendons compte que chaque langue que nous apprenons est une nouvelle fenêtre sur le monde, offrant des perspectives et des compréhensions uniques. C'est une invitation à repenser notre façon de voir l'éducation, à valoriser nos différences et à nous engager en faveur d'un monde plus compréhensif et inclusif.

"Conversations sur le bilinguisme" est une contribution précieuse à notre compréhension du rôle et de l'importance du bilinguisme dans l'éducation et dans nos sociétés en général. À travers ses pages, nous découvrons comment le bilinguisme peut être une clé pour ouvrir les portes d'un avenir meilleur pour tous les enfants. L'ouvrage de Fabrice Jaumont ne se limite pas à une simple conversation sur le bilinguisme. Il va au-delà, en posant les bases d'une révolution éducative qui vise à briser les barrières linguistiques, à valoriser la diversité et à combattre les inégalités. Le futur de l'éducation s'écrit bel et bien en deux langues, et c'est cette vision que Fabrice Jaumont cherche à promouvoir.
