About the film
Gabber Lover is a film school project, shot in November 2015 near Nérac, in Lot-et-Garonne. Its director, Anna Cazenave-Cambet, learned via a phone call that the short film has been selected for the Cinéfondation at the Cannes Film Festival.[4]
The film came from the director's desire, while a third-year student in the directing program at La Fémis, to capture landscapes from her childhood—-the forest, the silence—-a natural silence juxtaposed with the film's soundtrack of gabber music representing teenage violence. It is not based on a true story or something the director witnessed, but rather an interpretation of what a teenage love story can be, with all its violence and "chaos".
A "coming out" film,[5] it was screened by Cinéfondation in the Buñuel Room on May 18, 2016.
