The Match Factory wants to congratulate the team of LE MERAVIGLIE by Alice Rohrwacher for their success in this year's edition of Filmfest München, where the film has won the Cinevision Award 2014.

The jury statement was: "The Cinevision Award 2014 goes to 'Le Meraviglie' by Alice Rohrwacher. The film has everything we love to see in cinema: An original voice, always suprising and a wonderful cast. With a personal visual language, Alice Rohrwacher creates a precise and poetic universe of an unusual family and their struggle to survive. The film enchanted us."

We are proud to unveil the three titles that have been officially selected for this year's edition of Cannes Film Festival:
