Well we’ll found out Sunday if Montreal filmmaker Chloé Robichaud’s Sarah préfère la course ends up winning the Camera d’or as best first film at the Cannes Film Festival. But the other Quebec film at Cannes has already snared a prize.

Sébastien Pilote’s Le Démantèlement has won the Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques (SACD) prize in La Semaine de la Critique. The award is chosen from the films in this section of the Cannes fest and is chosen by a jury made-up-of filmmaker members of the SACD board of directors.

Le Démantèlement has already done well on the sales market at Cannes. It has been sold to Sophie Dulac Distribution for France, Cineworx for Switzerland, Hollywood Distribution for Greece, and Teleview for Middle East.

The second feature from Pilote – who made quite the impression with his debut, Le Vendeur – tells the story of Gaby (Gabriel Arcand), a sheep farmer who decides to sell his farm when one of his daughters runs into financial difficulty. It also stars Sophie Desmarais. Like Le Vendeur, the film is written and directed by Pilote. It’s set to be released here in the fall.
