In Development / Pre-production February 2016
The German-Polish Co-Development Fund (DPFF), a conjunction of Germany’s Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg (MBB), Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM) and the Polish Film Institute is supporting three German-Polish co-productions. Two of them are produced by EAVE graduates:
- THE DYBBUK: A TALE OF WANDERING SOULS by Krzysztof Kopczynski, producer: EAVE graduate Kuba Kosma
- ADVENTURES OF A MATHEMATICIAN by Thorsten Klein, producers: EAVE graduates Joanna Szymanska and Lena Vurma
The Nordisk Film & TV Fond has selected seven new Nordic feature projects out of 83 applications for its second package of the Nordic Genre Boost 2016: each production will receive development support and access to two residential workshops with tutoring in script development, marketing and sales. Among them are:
- BIRDS OF A FEATHER by Hanna Bergholm, producer: EAVE graduate Mika Ritalahti
- MEMORY OF WATER by Saara Saarela, producers: EAVE graduates Misha Jaari and Mark Lwoff
- THE FAITHFUL (LE FIDÈLE) by Michael R. Roskam, producers: EAVE graduate Peter Bouckaert received production funding by Wallimage. The new feature film project by the director of BULLHEAD can be described as an amour noir. THE FAITHFUL is a love story set against the background of a brutal crime gang in Brussels. The project is supported by the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF), the Creative Europe - MEDIA programme of the EU, Telenet STAP, VMMA, and BeTV.
- GREEK MINDS AT WORK, produced and directed by EAVE graduate Stavros Papageorgiou is in development. The first creative space technology documentary ever produced in Cyprus will follow the work of a number of university students and scientists from Greece and Cyprus who will team-up with Dr. Periklis Papadopoulos to implement a challenging space project by 2018 where a network of 6 to 12 cube satellites will be placed in orbit to perform scientific tasks. Tetrakyts Films is currently looking for co-producers. Production is planned to start in 2017 and release is planned for 2018.
