One of the films being teased at the American Film Market is Stranded , from Sandra Martin and Hugues Martin. It stars Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet, Theirry Fremont, Said Taghmaoui, Cyril Raffaelli and Aurelien Wiik. Set against the backdrop of the North African desert in 1960, Stranded follows a group of soldiers who are sent on a rescue mission in the desert. Trapped in a sand storm, isolated from their commander, they run into Algerian rebels. As they seek shelter in an uncharted village, another, invisible, threat comes out from the desert - the Djinns. As their ranks are decimated, they'll face the longest nights of their lives. Sounds like this could be a companion piece to Red Sands and The Objective .
