North American distribution rights for Bruno Dumont's "Red Rocks" were recently secured by KimStim. The acquisition, finalized ahead of the film's planned 2027 theatrical release, marks a significant step for the French filmmaker's latest work.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the French Riviera, "Red Rocks" delves into the lives of children spending their summer.

Dumont employed a documentary-like style, working with young, non-professional actors. The film's visuals highlight the Mediterranean's red cliffs and blue waters, contributing to its natural charm and immediacy. "Red Rocks" has already garnered attention at various festivals, including Cannes Directors' Fortnight, the New Horizons International Film Festival, and the New York Film Festival.
