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.

"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.
