The film premièred at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010. It was awarded the Grand Prix de la Semaine de la Critique.
Album of the Week

Website of the Week
	GETTY OWL FOUNDATION is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is helping families and fighting Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). SMA is the #1 genetic killer of children under two, but it has also been selected by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the disease closest to treatment of more than 600 neurological disorders. Promising research programs could really use some funding to accelerate the fight for a cure. Meanwhile, newly diagnosed and other SMA families still need help.
