WILL by Tim Mielants, producers: EAVE graduates Hans Everaert, Tomas Leyers, co-producers: EAVE+ graduates Frans van Gestel and Arnold Heslenfeld, and EAVE graduate Laurette Schillings is filming. The historical film centres on Wilfried Wils, a police officer in Anvers at the beginning of the Second World War. While the town is gripped with violent demonstrations and subject to a general atmosphere of distrust, Wilfried does all he can to avoid trouble. He receives the support of a man from the side of the occupying German forces, called Meanbeard, but he is also a confidante for Lode, his fiercely anti-Nazi colleague, who is also the brother of his fiancée, Yvette. Wilfred will have to fight to survive, while the nazi occupation and the extermination of Jews become more and more oppressive realities. The film is adapted from the bestseller by Flemish writer Jeroen Olyslaegers, titled Wil, and was published in French in 2019 with the title Trouble. Filming has begun in Anvers, and will last until mid-July, with some time also spent in Poland. Wil is produced by Hans Everaert for Menuetto Film and co-produced by Letter Scripted Media, Minds Meet and Les Films du Fleuve in Belgium, Topkapi Films in the Netherlands, and K & K Selekt Films in Poland. WIL is supported by the VAF/Filmfund, Screen Flanders, Centre du Cinéma et de l’Audiovisuel (CCA), the Belgian tax shelter, the Dutch Film Fund, the Dutch Production Incentive, Kinepolis Film Distribution (KFD), and Netflix.

FOUR MOTHERS by Darren Thornton, producer: EAVE graduate Martina Niland is shooting. The film is an Irish-set adaptation of Gianni Di Gregorio’s box-office hit Mid-August Lunch. The original indie flick premiered at Venice, and was screened at festivals such as the Berlinale, Palm Springs, London and Karlovy Vary. It grossed almost €10 million at the box office. In this new version of the tale, McArdle plays a self-sabotaging novelist, saddled with caring for his mother (portrayed by Flanagan) after a stroke. After his book becomes an overnight hit, his plans for a US promotional tour are thrown into disarray when three more elderly women (Molloy, Glynn and McCusker) are deposited on his doorstep. Four Mothers is being produced by Eric Abraham and Jack Sidey for Portobello Films and Television (Ireland), with Martina Niland, representing Port Pictures (Ireland). It received backing from Screen Ireland, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, RTÉ, the Section 481 tax credit and The Common Humanity Arts Trust.

FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE by Ivan Marinovi, producers: EAVE graduate Marija Stojanovic, EAVE graduate and Serbian National Coordinator Milan Stojanovic, co-producer: EAVE graduate, group leader and Croatian National Coordinator Ankica Jurić Tilić is shooting. The film tells the story of Dragana, a bride-to-be who says she will not go through with it, just two days before the wedding. Even though everything is ready and everyone knows about it. Leso, the merciless patriarch of the family of the groom has a suggestion for the rebellious bride: go through with the bloody wedding, act it out and then go wherever you want the next day. She agrees. However, the offended groom still hopes she will stay. The traditional wedding includes a series of absurd events, steeped in alcohol, gunfire and dynamite, which will bring the worst of the characters’ personal anxieties into play. Marija Stojanović and Ivan Marinović are producing through Montenegro's Adriatic Western, while Milan Stojanović of Serbia's Sense Production, Veronika Kuhrova and Michal Kračmer of the Czech Republic's Analog Vision, Ankica Jurić Tilić of Croatia's Kinorama, Dejan Krajčevski of North Macedonia's Krug Film and Jožko Rutar of Slovenia's Spok Film are on board as co-producers.

CINQ HECTARES by Émilie Deleuze, producer: EAVE group leader Patrick Sobelman is shooting. Written by Émilie Deleuze and Marie Desplechin, with assistance from Patricia Mazuy, the story recounts how an urban sixty-something who’s happy at home and famous in his field, can risk ruining his life in just a few weeks by presuming to buy a tractor against everyone’s advice: that of his partner, his employer and his neighbour and rival farmer… CINQ HECTARES is produced by Patrick Sobelman on behalf of Ex Nihilo and has been pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+. The film benefits from an advance on receipts from the CNC, as well as enjoying further support from the SOFICA companies Cinéaxe and Cinéventure, and the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, where the film will be shot over a seven-week period.

One of them wants to go and find his father, while the other one does everything he can to prevent the first from leaving the country. As a result, they both go to Luxembourg in search of their dad: Kolya considers him a hero, while Vasily thinks he is a scoundrel. The new film will be produced by Ukraine’s ForeFilms.

WINDLESS by Pavel G Vesnakov, producers: EAVE graduate Veselka Kiryakova, co-producer: PUENTES graduate Alessandro Amato is in post-production. The screenplay focuses on Koko, a young Bulgarian who has made a life for himself in Spain. He returns to his family's native provincial town to sell his late father's old flat, and also take care of his remains. As many of the town's buildings are being torn down in order to make room for a big investment project involving a casino, a hotel and a golf course, Koko stays for a few more days in order to help his old friend Matches clear belongings in a number of buildings that are soon to be demolished. But what exactly will disappear when the works are done? The film’s budget is coming from the Bulgarian National Film Center, the Italian Ministry of Culture and Eurimages.

EAVE PARTNERSHIP WITH MARCHÉ DU FILM

impACT Lab

The impACT Lab was designed to foster international co-production opportunities and guide producers to create more meaningful, sustainable and impactful films.

EAVE contributed with one of our trusted experts – EAVE graduate and Romanian National Coordinator Ada Solomon - to mentor the group of producers, helping them to make the best out of their market attendance, introducing them to the opportunities and people to meet.

The other experts involved are Tamara Tatishvili, EAVE graduate Alessandro Gropplero, Danielle Turkov Wilson and Ludovica Chiarini.

Ukrainian Films Now

Marché du Film confirmed the full endorsement and patronage of Ukrainian Films Now, an initiative promoted by EAVE, First Cut Lab, and When East Meets West. The initiative aimed at gathering a pool of European regional and national film funds to support Ukrainian films at the late stage of post-production to complete the final financial gap.

We believe this action to be one of the tools that can solidly contribute to Ukrainian audiovisual productions at this challenging time for its audiovisual industry. Furthermore, we trust that with this direct help, Ukrainian cinema will continue its existence in the coming months and will make new films visible and accessible to an international audience.

Exclusive EAVE interview with Estelle Robin You about the CHANGE training course

EAVE had the pleasure of speaking with Estelle Robin You, French documentary producer from Point du Jour – Les films du balibari, group leader of a very special EAVE programme called CHANGE Co-production Training Course 2021-2022 whose final workshop was recently held at CPH:DOX in March.

The 6 months long tailor-made course – co-developed, co-financed and co-organised by EAVE, CPH:DOX, and IMS International Media Support – consisted of three residential workshops in Kyiv, in Tbilisi and in Copenhagen with the aim to stimulate inter-regional co-production and to connect documentary projects from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine to regional and international markets.

“The core idea was to bring together producer-director teams from the European Eastern Partnership countries to share their realities but also their visions about their work and create a relationship between them.”

CHANGE is the first training programme to bring together documentary filmmakers from this specific region. Most of the projects are political/activist films or they have a political layer in the story.

The line-up includes one Ukrainian project in early stage of development: SILENT FLOOD by Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuck, produced by Karina Kostyna, is set in a Ukrainian religious community that lives in great seclusion, rejects modernism, and carries on traditions from generation to generation.
The other projects generally deal with themes around post-Soviet existence in these countries, such as EVER SINCE I KNEW MYSELF, produced and directed by Maka Gogaladze from Georgia.

The workshop consisted almost entirely of women filmmakers. Estelle explains that first they thought it was a coincidence that so many women were chosen. But as they dived into discussions on gender equalities with IMS experts, they realised that women filmmakers in the region – except for Georgia - are more likely to work in documentaries than in fiction films, as men take most the fiction work being better paid and having more prestige. On the positive side, in these countries women can take on roles in documentary that are very empowering because they can make a change in society. In Georgia the situation is different because women filmmakers are actively working on fiction stories but they are nonetheless fighting hard for their industry.

“I believe that with artistic vision and international scope, these projects can become very strong. Some of them arrived with a lot of anxiety about their projects, but in the end all participants commented on the «safe space» that has been created at the workshop.”

As a group leader, Estelle shared a lot of her professional experience in the group: her successes, as well as her failures and difficulties, thus allowing the group to open up as well.

“There were a lot of personal experiences and their life stories were just as powerful as their films. I have been a group leader before at workshops and also a participant and loved it, but I don’t think I have ever felt this level of emotional attachment and political engagement. It was fascinating and overwhelming at the same time!”

Sylvia Stevens, British documentary consultant from EAVE Producers Workshop was involved at the first two workshops to work on the projects. Sylvia helped point out where more reality was needed, how to strengthen the stories and how to deepen the connection to the characters and their stories. Often participants were able to find a twist in the story that made it political without ruining its artistic values.

Sylvia says: “There was something extra special and intimate in the CHANGE workshop. Women filmmakers together - some from countries not long ago at war with each other - bringing their stories, sharing their experiences, finding their voices, transforming their projects to reach an international audience. It changed not only the projects but all of us and made a network for life.”

Estelle also noted that in Tbilisi the bond between the group members became even deeper and a special “bubble” was created. It was in Tbilisi that the tutors began focusing strategically on the upcoming pitch presentations at CPH:DOX.

The war gave a sense of urgency to the CHANGE programme. CPH:FORUM had decided to be present for the buffer countries, they wanted to give a space on the market for these projects.

Katrine Kiilgaard, the Managing Director of Copenhagen Film Festival, and Head of CPH:FORUM Tereza Simikova made a very strong political opening statement at CPH:FORUM in which she showed support to Ukrainian and Russian filmmakers who fight against the regime.

The dedicated CPH:FORUM team not only helped with travel arrangements, but they prepared the group before the pitching session: there was a 2-hour online session explaining how this market works and who the decision makers would be. Participants could attend a case study about INTO ETERNITY by EAVE Producers Workshop Head of Studies Lise Lense-Møller that focused on practical hands-on advices related to documentary production.

Estelle, producer and consultant Christian Popp, Lise Lense-Møller and Henrik Underbjerg from IMS gave feedback on the rehearsals before the real pitching and coached them for the individual meetings.

The pitching – moderated by Gitte Hansen - was particularly emotional. “When the Ukrainian producer Karina Kostyna appeared online, and started sharing their realities, there were many tears and emotions in the room. It was a very strong moment that obviously could not have happened if the group hadn’t been so tightly connected.”
After pitching, participants had the opportunity to present their projects during the meetings with the decision makers. These were curated meetings to connect the projects with those who could actually help them and potentially support them later. There were both physical and online meetings, plus there was a lot of space to network and find out who's who.
"They come from countries with low funding capacity or small or complex industries, and if they want to go international, if they want to develop their skills, workshops are the best thing they can do. So, some of them have already done a lot or will do more, and hopefully they will see each other again at more pitching sessions. And some of them have also applied for the EAVE Producers Workshop!"

Elene Mikaberidze – producer of BLUEBERRY DREAMS - has been one of the participants from Parachute Films, Georgia. Her feedback sums it up:

“CHANGE has been the place to finally have the chance to think deeply about what impact we wish our film to have and it was wonderful to dream about it, but mostly to work on it!”

CPH:DOX guests from Georgia issued a statement on March 31 in response to the recent dismissal of Gaga Chkeidze, director of Georgian National Film Center (GNFC). Georgian producers are increasingly organizing themselves to form an association for which they will require both international experience and funding support.

The CPH:FORUM / CHANGE presentation featured the following seven projects:
