The focal figure of the film’s story is thirteen-year-old Drasko, who, while exploring the world of adults, experiences a friendship and romantic relationship with a free-spirited teenage girl, Erzika, introducing him to the hippie culture, rebellion and music of the seventies. Their relationship, full of tape recorders, secret recordings and Rock'n'Roll, becomes a path to discovering personal freedom and identity. The film is a joint production of Papa Films, and This and That Productions, with Snezana van Houwelingen as producer. The co-producers are Hungary’s Andromeda Films, Croatia’s PomPom Film, and Luxembourg’s Samsa Film. Film Center Serbia, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, the Vojvodina Film Fund, Creative Europe MEDIA, the Croatian Audiovisual Center, the National Film Institute – Hungary, and the Luxembourg Film Fund supported the project.

In post-production
- HOLD ON TO ME by Myrsini Aristidou, producer: EAVE graduate Konstantina Stavrianou is in post-production. The coming-of-age drama explores the emotional turbulence of a girl’s longing to reunite with her absent father. Set in Cyprus, the story follows 11-year-old Iris, whose carefree days spent with her older friend Danae are interrupted by the unexpected return of her estranged father, Aris, for his own father’s funeral. Resolving to finally meet the man who’s long been absent from her life, Iris tracks him down to a forgotten shipyard. What begins as a stubborn quest for recognition evolves into a subtle, uneasy bond marked by conflict, tentative gestures and emotional fragility. HOLD ON TO ME is a Cypriot-Danish-Greek-US co-production by Monica Nicolaidou for Filmblades and Aristidou’s One Six One Films, in co-production with Anders N U Berg for Denmark’s Fredo Pictures, and Konstantina Stavrianou and Rena Vougioukalou for Athens-based Graal SA, while Mark Hollinger and Thomas J Mangan IV serve as executive producers for Pleasant Bay Pictures (USA) and Mango Productions (USA). The film is supported by the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Culture, ERT SA, the Danish Film Institute, the Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center, the Black Family Film Foundation (NYU Tisch), Pleasant Bay Pictures and the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab, which awarded the project its Emerging Filmmaker Prize.
- ULYA by Viesturs Kairis, producers: EAVE graduates Guntis Trekteris, Pille Rünk, Malgorzata Staron and Ieva Norviliene is in post-production. The biographical drama about the world-famous basketball player Ulyana Semyonova follows her path from an old-believers community on the South Eastern border of Latvia to international fame, portraying both her personal journey and her symbolic role as a Cold War-era sports icon. ULYA is a Latvian/Estonian/Polish/Lithuanian co-production, produced by Guntis Trekteris through Ego Media (Latvia), Pille Rünk through Allfilm (Estonia), Malgorzata Staron through Staron Film (Poland), and Ieva Norviliene through Tremora (Lithuania). The film was shot in Latgale (Eastern Latvia) and Riga in 30 days across three sessions: the winter of 2024, the autumn of 2024 and the spring of 2025. “With the 1960s and 70s rarely depicted on screen, capturing the essence of that Soviet-era period demanded extraordinary effort and creativity from both the production and costume design teams,” said Latvian producer Guntis Trekteris. The film’s financing is coming from the National Film Centre of Latvia, the Estonian Film Institute, the Cultural Endowment of Estonia (kulka.ee), the Polish Film Institute (pisf.pl), the Lithuanian Film Centre, and the Riga City Council. An international premiere is planned for early 2026.
- SOLOMAMMA by Janicke Askevold, producers: EAVE graduates Gints Grube and Inese Boka-Grube is in post-production. Edith (40) is a curiosity-driven journalist, who decides to embark on single motherhood by sperm donor. However, the challenges of solo parenting prove to be more daunting than anticipated, and she fears that she is not enough for her son. When the identity of the donor unexpectedly surfaces, Edith decides to seek him out under the false pretense of doing an interview with him on his tech company, thereby shaking up not only her own life and emotions but also those of everyone around her. SOLOMAMMA is produced by Rebekka Rognøy, Magnus Albertsen and Gary Cranner through Norwegian Bacon Pictures Oslo and Danish Bacon Pictures Copenhagen, Gints Grube and Inese Boka-Grube through Latvian Mistrus Media, Gabilja Siurbyte and Viktorija Rimkute through Lithuanian Dansu, and Jani Pösö through Finish company It’s Alive Films. The project was supported by the Lithuanian Film Centre, the National Film Centre of Latvia, med støtte fra, Norsk Filminstitutt, Norsk Filminstitutt and YLE, in partnership with Post Control Helsinki and Norsk Filminstitutt. The principal photography took place in Oslo (Norway) from 6 September to 10 October 2024.
WATCH NOW: Inclusive Co-Production in Action - EAVE Think Tank report and panel discussion in Cannes
We are thrilled to share the 2025 EAVE IMPACT Think Tank Report on Inclusive Co-Production Practices, a bold new framework to transform international co-production models through equity, transparency, and narrative sovereignty.
The report was launched at a special panel discussion during this year’s Marché du Film – Co-Production Day with
- Emile Hertling Péronard (Ánorâk Film, Denmark & Greenland)
- Jennifer Sabbah-Immagine (BIG SISTER & JSI Consultant, FR)
- Myriam Sassine (La Niña Cinema, France & Lebanon)
- Daniela Mujica (Productions Ocho, Canada)
The session was moderated by Tamara Dawit (Gobez Media, Canada, Ethiopia).
You can watch the panel discussion about the report here, which was recorded during the Marché du Film, impACT x Co-Production Day:
Developed through a global, multi-stakeholder think tank facilitated by EAVE in partnership with When East Meets West (WEMW) and supported by the Canada Media Fund (CMF), Telefilm Canada, and the International Emerging Film Talent Association (IEFTA), the report responds to an urgent need to address systemic barriers in the global co-production ecosystem.
As international collaboration becomes more critical to financing screen content, the need for inclusive co-production models that reflect a plurality of voices has never been greater.
The report outlines concrete areas of work for producers across all stages of content creation, offering practical tools and strategies to build more ethical and inclusive co-productions:
EAVE THINK TANK 2025 - REPORT (EN VERSION)
EAVE THINK TANK 2025 - REPORT (FR VERSION)
This initiative builds on EAVE’s long-term commitment to advancing inclusion and sectoral transformation. The Canada Media Fund, a key partner in this effort, continues to champion inclusive practices and this necessary global dialogue.
We look forward to hearing your feedback and learning how this report influences your approach to co-productions!

- KATRINE SCHIERBECK, The Law Factory, Denmark
The film and TV industry is currently undergoing a significant transformation, where the use of artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly becoming an integral part of both creative processes and production-related workflows. In light of this, it is more important than ever to understand the relevant legal frameworks and how they are applied in practice. Today, it is essential for professionals to be familiar with the applicable legal rules and understand how they impact the daily work surrounding film and TV production.
