Karmitz brought French indie producer, distributor and exhibitor MK2 roaring back from the lockdown, presenting nine films at the Cannes Film Festival in June 2021, including Andrea Arnold’s “Cow,” Jonas Carpignano’s “A Chiara” and Joachim Trier’s “The Worst Person in the World,” the latter of which he produced.

In the traditional exhibition realm, he took over the historic movie theater Cine Paz (opened in 1943) in Madrid, bringing MK2’s presence in Spain to 11 cinemas, and produced a retrospective of the works of Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami at Paris’ Centre Pompidou.
