The Bureau Sales has teamed with French production banner Paprika and filmmaker Vincent Munier on “Whispering in the Woods,” a documentary that will be teased to buyers at the Cannes Film Market.
“Whispering in the Woods” marks Munier’s follow-up to “The Velvet Queen” (co-directed by Marie Amiguet), a critically acclaimed documentary that competed for a Golden Eye Award at the Cannes Film Festival and won a Cesar prize in 2022.
The doc is currently filming across different locations, from the Vosges mountains to Tibet, and is expected to be delivered by next spring. The Bureau Sales is handling worldwide rights and is unveiling a reel at the Cannes market. Haut et Court will release “Whispering in the Woods” in France.
The documentary feature reteams Munier with producer Pierre-Emmanuel Fleurantin at Paprika. “This film invites us to reconnect with nature which surrounds us. It’s a voyage of a rare beauty unfolding at the heart of wild forests,” said Fleurantin, who is also the co-founder of Les Arcs Film Festival.
Clementine Hugot at the Bureau Sales said: “‘The Velvet Queen’ has garnered both critical acclaim and public recognition, a feat quite remarkable for a documentary. It’s an immense privilege to be involved in Vincent Munier’s upcoming film.”
“‘Whisper in the Woods’ pledges imagery of unparalleled grace, encapsulating the universal emotions of a family narrative deeply ingrained in a love for nature. It provides a journey through the surrounding forests, allowing one to witness the world’s beauty without straying far from home,” she continued.
