CALVET – Uk Release
CALVET has its UK release next week. Starts next Thursday 24th November and runs until 12th December. There is also a television release on More4 on Dec. 13th. There are 11 screenings in 7 cinemas across UK – Edinburgh, Belfast, Cambridge, Liverpool and London. The director Dominic Allan will be attending all screenings doing Q&As. If you haven’t seen it yet, we highly recommend you check it out.
It’s a truly inspiring story of redemption, of one man’s destruction of family, and his longing and quest to rebuild one. French painter Jean Marc Calvet recounts his incredible life story as a former Cannes bodyguard who abandoned his family, robbed a Miami mobster, hid out in Central America and at the age of 38 overcame addictions through an extraordinary metamorphosis in which he began to paint. That was seven years ago. Now his intricate paintings sell for five figures, but he remains desperate to reconcile with the son he left behind.
