With director Clément Cogitore in attendance.

Director Clément Cogitore, who joins us in Austin with his newest docu-hybrid, BRAGUINO, will also present his acclaimed 2015 feature debut, winner of a special jury prize at Cannes Critic’s Week. A mystery-thriller taking place during the invasion of Afghanistan, the film follows a fictional French captain whose men begin mysteriously disappearing in the Afghan wilderness. A tale with unexpected turns, and a commentary on the west’s involvement in the Middle East.

“One of the more unusual and effective explorations of modern war and its capacity for bewilderment and piercing damage.” – Los Angeles Times, Robert Abele”
