In Development / Pre-production November 2015
In its the third funding decision round of 2015 the Business Location Südtirol, Alto Adige supports two films by EAVE graduates. Both films will be produced in the North Italian region.
- HEXE LILLIS by Florian Baxmeyer, co-producer: EAVE graduate Danny Krausz.
- CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT by Andrea De Sica, co-producer: EAVE graduate Andres Pfaeffli
Within the framework of the WCF Europe programme, which has been made possible by additional financing from the European Commission’s Creative Europe MEDIA programme, the Berlinale World Cinema Fund is funding the production of the following projects by EAVE producers:
- PENDULAR by Julia Murat, producer: PUENTES graduate Tatiana Leite
- PAINTINGS IN THE DARK by Paula Markovitch, producer: EAVE graduate Malgorzata Staron
- JESUS by Fernando Guzzoni, producer: EAVE+ graduate Titus Kreyenberg
- EAVE graduate Donato Rotunno’s Tarantula Luxembourg is currently working on several new projects, among them the Dutch-Belgian-Luxembourgish co-production A REAL VERMEER and a film named RAQS. A Real Vermeer is the new film by Dutch director Rudolf van den Berg, who is also writing the script alongside Jan Eilander. Tarantula got on board along with Dutch companies Rinkel Film, Fu Works, Cadenza Films and Belgian outfit Living Stone. The film has recently been granted €350,000 from Eurimages, and principal photography is expected to kick off in December.RAQS marks the return of Turkish director Yilmaz Arslan, an “atypical filmmaker”, according to producer Rotunno, who co-wrote the script with Arslan. The film is set in the 1980s, when several haemophilic patients contracted HIV. Miraculously, some of them survived, and the film tells the story of one of those who did.
