Created in 2016, Positive Cinema Week is an initiative of the Cannes Film Festival that celebrates committed and inspiring cinema, imagined in order to reflect together on a better world. Chaired by actor Samuel Le Bihan, this year's jury comprised Jacques Attali, Golshifteh Farahani, Camille Étienne, Raí and Diane Kruger were asked to elect the work they felt proved the most positive among the films in competition at the Cannes 2024 Festival.
The result of a collaboration between economist and writer Jacques Attali and Sam Bobino, president of the La Baule Film Festival, the Prix du Cinéma Positif once again honored a work that inspireshope, resilience and human kindness: Michel Hazanavicius' animated film La Plus Précieuse des Marchandises, presented in official competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived deep in a Polish forest. The poor woodcutter lamented not having any children. Once upon a time, a Jewish family - two newborn twins and their parents - were arrested in Paris and deported to Auschwitz. On the train taking them to their certain death, the father made a foolish gesture. In a last desperate hope, he threw one of his twins off the train. One day, as the poor woodcutter watched a train she thought was a freight train pass by, a bundle was thrown from it and fell into the snow. Like a gift from heaven, this little item turned out to be the one she'd been waiting for so fervently. A child.
is the first animated film by Michel Hazanavicius, who adapts the novel of the same name published by Jean-Claude Grumberg in 2019.
