Pintilie is currently casting her drama, which centres on three characters with intimacy problems.

For this, she will show her characters as being torn between their need for attachment and the comfort they receive in their state of total independence.
- EAVE 2013 project NOTHING DOING IN BAGHDAD by Maysoon Pachachi, producer: EAVE 2013 graduate Talal Al-Muhanna has received production funding support from the Arab Fund for Arts & Culture and Visions Sud Est.

- THE INNOCENT by Matthew Thompson, producer: EAVE 1998 graduate and UK National Coordinator Christine Alderson is in development. Alderson’s production company Ipso Facto has gained remake rights to Pieter Kuipers’ thriller NOTHING TO LOSE from Dutch production outfit Pupkin Films and changed the title to THE INNOCENT. The story will be relocated to the US. It follows Johan, a prisoner in a psychiatric institution who believes that he has been wrongly convicted of the murders of his father and sister. With a life sentence hanging over his head, he breaks free, hoping to find the person who can clear his name.
ANNE FRANK ANIMATION in production
- LE FRONT DE WAKHAN by Clément Cogitore, co-producer: EAVE 1999 graduate Donato Rotunno is in production.

Despite the tenacity shown by Antarès and his men, they will gradually begin to lose control of this supposedly peaceful area. One night in September, some of the soldiers start to disappear mysteriously in the valley. The feature is benefitting from the CNC’s advance on receipts, and backing from the Cinémage and La Banque Postale Image Soficas, as well as from the Wallonia-Brussels fund. The project was selected by Torino FilmLab, Les Arcs Co-production Village, Cinémart and Le Groupe Ouest.

NORDIC GENRE BOOST is now open for project applications
Applications close on January 26, 2015.
Nordisk Film & TV Fond has launched NORDIC GENRE BOOST, a new initiative aimed at supporting the development of Nordic genre films and TV series on the Nordic and international market.
The two-year ‘Nordic Genre Boost’ initiative will provide development grants of NOK 200.000 each for five to seven projects a year, as well as access to two intensive residential workshops. The first workshop in Helsinki will be organised together with Night Visions International Film Festival. The second one arranged in collaboration with New Nordic Films in Haugesund will be followed by a presentation of the projects at the Nordic Co-Production and Finance Market.
The workshops will be coordinated by Valeria Richter, independent creative producer, script consultant and tutor/head of studies at various industry events including TorinoFilmLab.
Genre projects are defined as falling into specific genre conventions, including but not limited to horror, sci-fi, fantasy and western. To be eligible for support, applicants (either single or teams of 2 or 3 participants) must be professional writers, directors, producers from the Nordic region working in the film and television industry. Newcomers are encouraged to apply with more established partners. Projects must be suitable for theatrical or television distribution and may contain elements that can unfold on other platforms.
Petri Kemppinen, CEO at Nordisk Film & TV Fond said: “A growing number of filmmakers are developing genre films and TV series that cross borders within the Nordic region and many titles have had successful international launches (Let the Right One In, Troll Hunter, Iron Sky, Frost). Yet financing genre projects, particularly in the development stage remains difficult. The Fund is therefore very pleased to be able to support creative minds working within specific genre conventions, and to bring more Nordic chills and thrills into the spotlight.”
