Sony Pictures Classics have picked up Joyeux Noel, which is playing out-of-competition. Directed by Christian Carion, this WWI drama stars French actors Guillaume Canet and Dany Boon, along with Germany's Daniel Bruehl and Diane Kruger.

SPC will also distribute the controversial new BBC doc, The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear, which was reviewed by Chris Darke in the latest issue of Film Comment (art-directed by our moderator, Pmw).
