Written and directed by Romain Cogitore, who signs here his third feature film, An area to defend is produced by Nicolas Dumont and Hugo Selignac for Chi-Fou-Mi Productions (Mediawan group).
Pauline Dauvin, Vice President of Programming, Production and Acquisitions at Disney France, says:
With A Zone to Defend, we are producing our first film and we are lucky to do it with Chi-Fou-Mi Productions and Romain Cogitore whose work we love. It’s a brand new adventure that begins for us today, a new major project with a prestigious cast and a very pleasant collaboration with the whole team. This story, which deals with a romance against a background of protest movement, perfectly meets our ambition to offer a wide variety of genres and formats in our original French productions.
