Saint Laurent Productions has announced its fourth feature film, “Father Mother Sister Brother”, written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.
According to the house, the film will premiere at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, which runs from late August until early September.
The project continues Saint Laurent Productions’ recent expansion into cinema, under the direction of Anthony Vaccarello. It marks the brand’s first appearance in the official competition at Venice, following back-to-back Cannes appearances in 2023 and 2024.
“Father Mother Sister Brother” is described as a feature film composed as a triptych. Each segment focuses on the complex relationship between adult children and their somewhat distant parents, in separate locations: Father in the northeastern United States, Mother in Dublin, and the adult children in Paris. The film is presented as a quiet, observational series of character studies with elements of melancholic comedy.
The cast includes Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat and Françoise Lebrun.
Jarmusch characterises the film as a kind of “anti-action” piece, structured to allow small details to accumulate in a quiet, layered cinematic form. He reunites with frequent collaborators including cinematographers Frederick Elmes and Yorick Le Saux, editor Affonso Gonçalves, and costume designer Catherine George.
Saint Laurent Productions previously presented three features at Cannes in 2024: Emilia Pérez by Jacques Audiard, Parthenope by Paolo Sorrentino and The Shrouds by David Cronenberg. In 2023, the house produced short films by Pedro Almodóvar and Jean-Luc Godard.
Founded under Vaccarello’s leadership, Saint Laurent Productions is the first fashion label to operate a full-scale film division. The initiative reflects the brand’s intent to integrate cinematic storytelling with its creative direction.
