Cannes 2013: ‘The Congress’ International Trailer

Here’s the new international trailer for Ari Folman‘s upcoming film The Congress, which is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival under its Director’s Fortnight series.  Folman previously directed 2008’s Waltz with Bashir which was an incredibly innovative animated documentary, and it looks like he’s going for a similarly interesting approach to this film, which is loosely based on Stanislaw Lem‘s The Futurological Congress.

The Congress stars Robin Wright, Harvey Keitel, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Paul Giamatti, watch the trailer and read the synopsis after the break.

Robin Wright (Robin Wright) receives an offer from Miramount to be scanned. In this way, her alias can be freely exploited in all films the Hollywood major decides to produce, even the most downmarket ones, the ones she has turned down until now. For 20 years she disappears to return as guest of honor at the Miramount-Nagasaki Convention in a transformed world of fantastical appearances.
