Special Event – In the presence of filmmaker/actress Maïwenn.

Polisse, winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes and nominated for 13 César Awards, marks a career breakthrough for actress-turned-writer-director Maïwenn. Maïwenn gathers an impressive ensemble cast of French actors and turns exhaustive research into a compellingly immersive police procedural.

For Fred, Nadine and the rest of the police officers working Paris's special unit for the protection of minors, terrifying family secrets are a part of their everyday work. When a Melissa (Maïwenn), a PR photographer, is sent to accompany the squad, the well-coordinated team is knocked off balance.

Filmography: Jeanne du Barry (2023), DNA (2020), My King (2015).
