EAVE project FLATLAND now in production
In Production January 2017
- EAVE project FLATLAND by Jenna Bass, producer: EAVE graduates David Horler-Blankfield and Roshanak Behesht Nedjad is in production. Three different but equally desperate South African women embark on a journey of self-discovery in the Karoo semi-desert. Flatland is painting a vivid and unique portrait of femininity against a hostile frontier-land and questions what it means to be a woman in contemporary South Africa and the world at large.
- DIRECTIONS aka COMPATIBILITY, directed and produced by EAVE graduate Stephan Komandarev wrapped shooting. Based on real events, the script written by Simeon Ventsislavov and Stephan Komandarev interweaves six contemporary taxi drivers’ stories and a free interpretation of Anton Chekhov’s short story Grief. Komandarev changed the title during the shooting, because he found that DIRECTIONS reflects better the heart, the soul and the true dynamics of the film. Shooting in Sofia took place in November-December 2016 and lasted 24 days. There are roughly six one-frame episodes, some of which go uninterrupted for nearly twenty minutes. Komandarev is producing through Argo Film in cooperation with Stelios Ziannis through Aktis Film Production and Vladimir Anastasov through Sector Film. Bulgarian National Film Center, Bulgarian National Television, the German Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM), the Macedonian Film Agency and Eurimages are supporting. The film will be released in 2017.
- I REMEMBER YOU by Oskar Thor Axelsson, producer: EAVE graduate Ruben Thorkildsen is in production. The German-Icelandic and Norwegian horror film is a co-production by Ape&Bjørn, Maze Pictures and Zik Zak Filmworks. The plot: After an elderly woman commits suicide, a psychiatrist discovers the woman’s obsession with the disappearance of the doctor’s son. Across the bay in an abandoned village, three city dwellers restoring a home realise it is haunted. The two stories intertwine when the discovery of a child who vanished 60 years ago becomes the missing link of the film.
