How to Save a Dead Friend by Marusya Syroechkovskaya is awarded Coup de cœur ACID-France Culture at the Festival de Cannes today!

Here’s what Lucas, one of the student judges, wrote about HTSADF:
“What an incredible film! It’s so touching and plunges us into the heart of a society impacted by su***de, drugs and fear of the future. The voice-over tells another story, which serves and extends the main story. Sound is used to serve the image. It’s a fabulous piece of work and above all a magnificent tribute.”

We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts all the student judges who attended the screening and chose our movie. We are honored! 🔥
