(awarded Cannes 2020’s Official Selection label and presented in Toronto – due for release in France in October), to name just a few, is a fiction film retracing a highly unusual journey in the world of classical music, a trajectory speaking of integration and engagement, that of Zahia Ziouani, to be specific, who created the symphony orchestra Divertimento (which still exists today) in the 1990s and went on to become a world-renowned conductor.

), the story immerses itself into 1995-1996 to follow in the wake of a young woman in her final year of high school. At just 17 years of age, Zahia Ziouani realises that her dream of becoming a conductor and her ambition of making symphonic music accessible to everyone, in any country, can best be achieved by creating a one-of-a-kind orchestra in terms of its diversity and make-up. Helped by her cellist twin sister Fettouma and in anticipation of conducting her very first concert, she creates the orchestra known as Divertimento…

Divertimento is produced by Olivier Gastinel on behalf of Estello Films (who are embarking on their first feature film experience) and by Marc-Benoît Créancier for Easy Tiger, in co-production with France 2 Cinéma. Pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature film further enjoys the support of the SOFICA companies La Banque Postale, Cofimage and Palatine Étoile. Divertimento was shot exclusively in the Île-de-France region, with Naomi Amarger at the wheel of photography. Distribution in France and international sales will both be managed by Le Pacte.

For the record, Easy Tiger is also overseeing post-production on L'Homme debout by Florence Vignon.
