- EAVE 2011 project THE MAN WHO KNEW 75 LANGUAGES by Anne Magnussen and Pawel Debski, producer: EAVE 2011 graduate Zivile Gallego has gone into production. The animated documentary is about the language genius Georg Julius Justus Sauerwein who sacrificed his academic career to live among the most oppressed groups in Europe, the linguistic minorities. He fought for people’s right to speak their mother tongue and the use of the mother tongue in primary education. Because of his great linguistic talent he was headhunted to be the tutor of the beautiful and talented Princess Elisabeth of Wied in Germany who became the first queen of Romania and a famous writer of books, articles and poems. The film received funding from the Lithuanian Film Centre. Filming started in the beginning of August in Lithuania and will move to Poland.
- FAMILY FILM by Olmo Omerzu, producer: EAVE 2007 graduate Jiri Konecny is shooting. The plot: A husband and wife set sail on the ocean, leaving their two children at home to explore the freedom offered them by the absence of parental supervision. But fear clouds the kids’ seemingly carefree life after they lose contact with their parents whose boat capsizes in a storm. The timing of the parents’ return corresponds with a tragedy at home. Their son lies in the hospital badly in need of a kidney transplant. Test results show that the father is in fact not related to the boy by blood. The film is supported by Eurimages, The State Cinematography Fund – Czech Republic, the Slovak Audiovisual Fund, the Slovenian Film Center, MDM Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (DE) and the MEDIA Programme. The Slovenian/Czech/ German/ Slovak/French co-production with a budget of 1.45 m EUR is being shot on locations in Prague and at the sea in Thailand. Shooting will last three months.
- EAVE 2012 project STAGE FRIGHT by Yorgos Zois, producer: EAVE 2012 graduate Maria Drandaki is shooting. The film is a Greek-Croatian-French-Dutch coproduction with EAVE 2007 graduate Sinisa Juri?i? co-producing. The plot is centered on the most anticipated avant-garde theatre play of the year, when seven armed persons enter the stage randomly choosing people from the audience and asking them to co-create a new devised play with the cast. But with one condition: everything has to be real, from the performances to the bullets. The Croatian Audiovisual Center is supporting the film with a minority coproduction grant. The project won the TFL Production Award at TorinoFilmLab in 2012 and the CNC Award at CineLink at Sarajevo IFF in 2011. It was also selected in l'Atelier du Festival de Cannes in 2013. Shooting will wrap in September 2014 with most of the scenes shot at the Pallas Theater in Athens.
