Connect the dots: ‘Clinton Cash’ documentary film ready to rattle 2016 campaign

Expect a rising buzz and bombast over “Clinton Cash,” a new documentary which debuts at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday and opens in the U.S. on the very eve if the Democratic National Convention in late July. But wait. There’s a sneak preview of the film for a very select audience in New York City on Thursday night, sure to jump-start the mainstream media narrative about the provocative movie. Sparks could fly.
Based on a best-seller of the same name by Peter Schweizer, the project parses foreign cash donations made to the family foundation of former President Bill Clinton and aspiring president Hillary Clinton. The film has much input from veteran producer Stephen K. Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart News and the man behind 17 other films, including “The Undefeated,” a 2011 documentary about Sarah Palin.
Like kryptonite, “Clinton Cash,” has gotten some carefully controlled public exposure. There is a edgy trailer on YouTube, and a surprising review from MSNBC, which got an early peek.
“The film portrays the Clintons as a greedy tag team who used the family’s controversial Clinton Foundation and her position as secretary of state to help billionaires make shady deals around the world with corrupt dictators, all while enriching themselves to the tune of millions,” noted reviewer Dana Kennedy, who added that the film “powerfully connects the dots — whether you believe them or not.”
Mr. Schweizer himself, who appears in the documentary, conveniently sums up the Clinton’s modus operandi and his own take on it. “They created a model for massive self enrichment that allows you to go into so-called public service, but get extremely rich at the same time,” he says. “I believe in the oldest adage in American politics. Which is follow the money.”

Other Angle has acquired international sales rights to Yvan Attal’s “The Jews” (Ile sont partout), a provocative comedy dismantling deep-rooted anti-Semitism in France.
“The Jews” stars a high-profile cast including Charlotte Gainsbourg, Dany Boon and Francois Damiens, Benoît Poelvoorde, Valérie Bonneton, Grégory Gadebois, Denis Podalydès, Gilles Lellouche as well as Attal.
The movie centers on a Jewish man (Attal) who attends therapy sessions to talk about how he was persecuted by growing anti-Semitism in France. His sessions are punctuated by a series of tragi-comic short stories showcasing the most tenacious anti-Semitic stereotypes.
The movie is produced by Thomas Langmann at La Petite Reine. Wild Bunch will distribute the film in France on June 1.
Olivier Albou, co-founder of Other Angle, told Variety that the movie has already sparked interest for distributors in major territories. “The Jews” will likely premiere at a fall festival.
