Helmer's latest nabbed on the Croisette

Cannes 2010 - Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy , playing in competition at Cannes, has been picked up by IFC Films.

Starring Juliette Binoche and William Shimell, the film surrounds a meeting between two people, and the conversation that follows as they begin to realise that they share a deeper past together.

Kiarostami won the Palme d'Or in 1997 for Taste Of Cherry , and his latest offering is being talked up by many as a frontrunner for this year's prize.

The Palme d'Or will be awarded this Sunday 23rd May.
