Arte Distribution will represent William Klein's filmography including "Who Are You, Polly Maggo?". The title is set to be screened at la Cinémathèque Française on 9 September, 2023, as part of the “Cinema and fashion in 20 essential films” cycle.
The project extends the existing collaboration between Arte Distribution and William Klein’s team, whose movie forms part of ARTE Distribution’s “I Love Paris collection,” set to travel to Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympics, which will take place next August.
It will join Arte Distribution's international program sales unit of the European public channel Arte, which is made up of more than 4,000 hours of documentaries entrusted by more than 150 prestigious French and foreign production companies. ARTE Distribution has made its mark on the 5 continents bringing a wide range of documentaries to the world.
"Who Are You, Polly Maggo?" is a satire film that follows the 20-year-old Brooklyn-born supermodel Polly Maggo in the heart of Parisian fashion. Thirty years ahead of its time, it makes fun of the feeding frenzy of supermodels on television, the fashion world and brainwashing in general... A provocative iconoclast artist who moved from street photography to fashion and directed iconic feature films, with his unique style and free spirit still holding relevancy today.
