- Winner of the coveted Best feature by a newcomer at the Cannes Film Festival, along with the Young Critics Prize and the French Artist and Writers Guild Award for best directors, it’s safe to say that Zeitgeist Films have nabbed a nice addition to their slate. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Jellyfish has been picked up for an eventual March 08’ release. The directing debut of husband-and-wife fiction-writing team Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen, commences at her wedding reception, Keren breaks a leg. And bang goes the Caribbean honeymoon. A strange little girl comes out of the sea and follows Batya like a shadow until Batya’s life changes forever. Joy is a maid from the Philippines. She works for a though old lady and unintendently reconciles her with her daughter. This is a composite film, made of scraps of humanity, like so many messages in a bottle, verging on the absurd.
