The Match Factoryhas boarded international sales on An Urban Allegory, the new short film by Alice Rohrwacher and JR, ahead of its world premiere at Venice Film Festival, Out of Competition.
The work marks the second collaboration between Italian filmmaker Rohrwacher (La Chimera, Happy as Lazzaro, The Wonders) and French artist and director JR (Faces Places, Women Are Heroes, Paper and Glue, Tehachapi), after Omelia Contadina which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2020.
Taking inspiration from Greek Philosopher Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, asking what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to free themselves from their chains and escape from the cave, An Urban Allegory explores what would happen if the prisoner were Jay, a 7-year-old boy.
The film stars Lyna Khoudri (The French Dispatch, Papicha, The Blessed), Palme d’Or winning director Leos Carax (Annette, Holy Motors, Les Amants du Pont-Neuf) and Naïm El Kaldaoui in his first role.
