In production

  • ZERO K by Michael Almereyda, producer: EAVE graduate Giorgos Karnavas is in production. The film follows a young man pulled into the dealings of his tech-billionaire father, who intends to use his wealth and capabilities to find a way to extend and enhance human life. In Don DeLillo’s novel, a New York Times bestseller, his father is specifically drawn towards this in light of his wife’s terminal illness, and he seeks to achieve immortality for the two of them via cryopreservation. Almereyda is a US filmmaker known for the Ethan Hawke-led 2020 Tesla biopic; his 2000 Hamlet adaptation, also starring Hawke; and Experimenter, his 2015 drama about the infamous Milgram experiment. The film will be the fourth collaboration between Anthony Katagas and Rodrigo Teixeira on the production side. Almereyda has previously worked with Sarsgaard for Experimenter and DoP Sean Price Williams for two of his previous films, Marjorie Prime and Tesla. Zero K will be produced by Anthony Katagas for New York-based Keep Your Head, Rodrigo Teixeira for São Paulo-based RT Features, Renée Frigo and Giorgos Karnavas for Athens-based Heretic, and Almereyda. RT Features is a top Brazilian production house known for a wide variety of hits of all genres.

  • MILA/MARIJA by Andrina Mracnikar, producer: EAVE + graduates Danijel Hocevar and Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu is currently shooting. Inspired by her own family history, the film will be the first feature to focus on the resistance of the Carinthian Slovenians against the Nazi dictatorship, and the first to depict Austria’s resistance movement during World War II. It also marks the first live-action co-production between Slovenia and Austria. Set in 1943 in a mountain village in Carinthia, the story follows 19-year-old Mila, who joins the Partisans alongside her brother Hanzi to fight the Nazis from the forests. As she rises to lead a resistance unit, Mila faces life-or-death decisions. When she returns home after the liberation, she must once again confront the crucial question: submission or resistance? Mracnikar, born in Austria and raised in Ljubljana and Carinthia, stated: “With MILA/MARIJA, I wish to make the first feature dedicated to the history of the Slovenian national community and the resistance of the Carinthian Partisans against Nazism. The project is also important to me personally, as the story of the Carinthian Slovenians and the anti-fascist resistance is part of my family history. My goal is to create films with a clear stance that ask crucial questions and are simultaneously emotionally powerful, formally consistent and courageous.” The Slovenian-Austrian-Greek co-production is staged by Danijel Hocevar and Katja Lenarcic for Ljubljana-based Vertigo, and Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu and Bady Minck for Vienna-based Amour Fou, in co-production with Ioanna Davi for Chania-based Indigo View and Austria’s Ruth Beckermann Filmproduktion. It is being made in collaboration with Austrian pubcaster ORF (under the Film/Television Agreement) and RTV Slovenija, and in cooperation with Viba Film Studio. The film is supported by the Austrian Film Institute (ÖFI and ÖFI+), the Slovenian Film Centre, the Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center, the Slovak Audiovisual Fund – Tax Rebate, the Vienna Film Fund, the Carinthia Film Commission and the Future Fund of the Republic of Austria. The movie is expected to be released in cinemas in both Austria and Slovenia next year.

  • LASTIMA by Mario Piredda, producers: EAVE graduates Anamaria Antoci, Anda Ionescu is in production. According to the synopsis for Làstima (which means “sin” or “shame” in the Sardinian dialect), “Vera, a forty-year-old woman of Romanian origin, suddenly finds herself out of work and having to drive an incredibly young Nigerian girl called Kali across sun-scorched Sardinia: a straightforward ‘task’ turns into a life-long journey”. Piredda describes his film as “a modern-day story where no-one wins or loses: the characters put themselves in each other’s shoes. […] The film unfolds between two cities and their respective peripheries, in the countryside of my homeland, Sardinia, where Sardinians and children of Sardinians have to open themselves up to others. That’s the way we are: we hide our feelings and put on a show of strength because we don’t like letting people in too soon, but then, once we’ve calmed down, we open up our hearts. Vera and Kali represent “the other.” Two women who are poles apart and who meet by chance, by way of one of the many violent and vulgar men they’ve met in their lives. It’s because of or thanks to him that they begin their roaming journey: on trains, in coaches and makeshift cars, and crossing the island on foot, an island which keeps people within its confines, especially those who have only just arrived and who see it as a foreign land”. Ivan Olgiati and Chiara Galloni produced the film on behalf of Articolture as well as Mark Olexa for Swiss firm DOK Mobile, alongside RSI Radiotelevisione Svizzera, in collaboration with Romania’s Tangaj Productions via Anamaria Antoci, Anda Ionescu and Ana Voicu. Support comes from Creative MEDIA Europe, the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Swiss Federal Bureau, the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, the Sardegna Film Commission and Cinéforom.

In post-production

  • ANY OTHER NIGHT by Michiel ten Horn, producer: EAVE graduate Leontine Petit and PUENTES graduate Fred Burle is in post-production. Shot earlier this year in Berlin, the film unfolds over the course of a single night. Maggie, recently abandoned and caught in emotional free fall, while Sam, a former musician is now driving a taxi. What begins as an ordinary late-night ride gradually becomes a prolonged, wayward journey across the city, compelling both characters to confront personal failures and lingering disappointments. Speaking about the project, ten Horn notes that the film examines what follows once youthful aspirations have dimmed: “ANY OTHER NIGHT explores what happens after you’ve chased your big dreams and realised this isn’t ‘it’. Life isn’t a romcom; it’s far more complicated. Yet sometimes, one special encounter can shift your perspective.” The film is being produced by Lithium Studios (Canada), One Two Films (Germany), Lemming Film (Netherlands) and Film Forge (Canada).

  • BLACK WATER by Aga Woszczynska, producers: EAVE graduates Liisa Karpo, Tanja Georgieva-Waldhauer and Elina Litvinova is in post-production. Aga Woszczynska, one of the most interesting voices in Polish arthouse cinema, has wrapped shooting on the Åland archipelago, an autonomous region of Finland. In her second outing, she continues to pursue her artistic interest: the study of a couple facing their inner fears and re-examining their relationship after an unexpected event. In BLACK WATER it will be the mysterious disappearance of two men. Their partners commence an investigation of their own, as the local police are preoccupied with an oil spill from a tanker in the vicinity of the island. “BLACK WATER is a story about balance in a world that is off-balance. The environmental catastrophe mirrors an inner collapse, pushing my characters to abandon the illusion of control and to embrace uncertainty as the only way forward. In its mystery and stillness, I want the film to reflect the fragility and hope of our times,” Woszczynska said. The film is being co-produced by Liisa Karpo, of Finland’s napafilms; Tanja Georgieva-Waldhauer, of Germany’s Elemag Pictures; Elina Litvinova, of Estonia’s Three Brothers; and Eva Jakobsen, of Denmark’s Mater Pictures. The project received support from Creative Europe – MEDIA, the Polish Film Institute, the Finnish Film Foundation, the Estonian Film Institute and the Danish Film Institute, as well as regional funds from the Åland Islands, the MDM (Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung), FilmFyn and the Film Estonia cash-rebate scheme.

Kicking off: AI Workshop for Producers in Udine

EAVE is organising, in partnership with the Zeroidee APS, an immersive EAVE on Demand workshop for independent audiovisual producers and professionals wishing to integrate AI as a key tool in their professional practice.

The objective is to understand what AI is (and isn’t); how it fits into modern production workflows; how to use it to build your own storyboard and animatic from your script; how it can reduce time, cost, and risk across the production business.

The topics addressed include an overview of available creative tools, legal and ethical considerations, AI as a tool for film business workflows, as well as hands-on exercises.

The tutors of the workshop include Aleksi Hyvärinen (Don Films, FI) and Anssi Komulainen (Finnish Innovation Fund, FI). Both are part of the Alchemist Collective, a Helsinki-based innovation studio reshaping filmmaking through artificial intelligence.
