51st Thessaloniki IFF-<strong>2010</strong> - <strong>Agora</strong>/<strong>Market</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>It was Groucho Marx that once said “ It isn’t so much that hard times are coming,the change observed is mostly soft times going”. This is so true regarding Greece.But hard times have come and they have struck firmly on us and on Culture ofevery form. We are struggling to keep up with what we have built and refuse togive up.Funny enough, history repeats itself and in times of crisis a group of Greek film directorshave emerged to give hope and shed a light on modern Greece, so wellhidden behind its theatrical masks and exaggerated gestures.Everybody knows the stories of film directors that in times of economic crisis theymanaged to make their masterpieces just because they did not have money topressure them. Well, we are counting on it.<strong>Agora</strong> / <strong>Market</strong> is a place that, you could say, in a traditional Balkan and Mediterraneanway is a family business. Our family are the creators and the everlastingsearchers (i.e producers, sales agents, distributors, festival representatives) of importantfilms and as a loving mother we want to make sure they succeed.Since the first industry activity back in 2003 with the launch of the Balkan Funduntil this year’s total reform of the <strong>Agora</strong> / <strong>Market</strong> we strive to support and putour efforts into the service of making and promoting important, entertaining andmeaningful films through our development activities such as the Crossroads CoproductionForum, the Woks in Progress, the Film <strong>Market</strong> in addition to the FilmStudent program Salonica Studio.Films that have a link to Greece, South- Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean areour focus due to our perfectly symmetric location.In these times of crisis we had to cut down on every aspect but we trust that thequality of our services remains the same and that our guests will benefit fromtheir vote of faith to Thessaloniki International Film Festival.We wish you a pleasant stay and welcome to Thessaloniki!Dimitris Eipides Thessaloniki Festival Director,Marie-Pierre Macia Head of <strong>Agora</strong> / <strong>Market</strong>and the <strong>Agora</strong> / <strong>Market</strong> team3

The Serbian government decided to organize a mass protestin Belgrade.Luka, a seventeen year-old, who lives in an impoverished industrial town on the outskirts of Belgrade, becomesthe leader of a hooligan group supporting a local football club. The football club is run by Tihomir, a controversialbusinessman related to corrupted politicians who instruct Luka to collect “voluntary financial donations” for theteam. Reluctantly he agrees only to find himself caught in a web of lies and betrayal. Stefana, is new at schooland was brought back from Switzerland because of her troubling behavior. Stefana and Luka begin a passionateromance, brought together by their love for fast cars and reckless behavior. Unfortunately, she also falls into Tihomir’sweb and ends up being blackmailed into doing his dirty work. Luka and Stefana’s fates intertwine andresult in an explosion of violence which ends tragically during the protest in Belgrade.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTOne event left a significant mark in my memory. The night that Belgrade burned. Rage and noise triumphedthat night. Anarchy caused by the young people’s brewing dissatisfaction exploded… My wish was to return tothis night and make a film about yet another lost generation in the aftermath of Serbia’s transition.This is a film about growing up in a small Serbian town, in a society of lost values, where corruption,immorality and abuse of power prosper. Through the tragic romance of Luka and Stefana, prejudice, envy andnationalism are reflected. The film is told from their perspective in a documentary style, very familiar to modernBritish social issue films, were we see their troubles with minimal distance. Their two stories intertwine andevolve, creating a melodramatic plot within the social drama of their coming of age.SENSE PRODUCTIONSense Production, founded in April <strong>2010</strong>, is a Belgrade based production company, specialized in Film & Videoproduction.Sense Production is a company with a mission to produce modern films based on up-to-date and socially importanttopics.

He means to protect her but insteadthey end up confronting each other.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTThis is a film about the relationship of a father and his daughter seen at the moment when the daughter, bygrowing up, is shifting the balance of the relationship. This is often not such a smooth transition and especiallynot in this case.Riots in cities are something, which unfortunately, many of us are getting to experience. This is a powerfulbackground for any story but for me the strength of the film is the two human lives at the heart of the situation,and most powerful moments are the ones where ordinary life becomes extraordinary, such as a birthday cake ina police cage or a driving lesson that almost becomes a death trap. The humour and irony of these moments is avery important element that helps the film end with a note of hope.TWENTY TWENTY VISIONTwenty Twenty Vision is a film production company based in Berlin, Germany. The principal ThanassisKarathanos and shareholder Uta Ganschow formed the company in December 1998 as a vehicle for the productionof feature film projects aimed at the national and international markets.PRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONTWENTY TWENTY VISIONT. +49 30 6128 1750office@twentytwentyvision.euwww.twentytwentyvision.eu16

<strong>Agora</strong>/<strong>Market</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> - 51st Thessaloniki IFF-<strong>2010</strong>Balkan Fund ProjectsThe HouseCroatiaProduced by: MAINFRAME PRODUCTIONDirector: Zoran SudarScriptwriter: Sanja KovacevicProducer: Igor A. NolaBudget: 1.298.650 euroSecured Financing: 14%SYNOPSISDjuro is a Bosnian refugee living with his wife and daughter in a deserted house in a Croatian village. Havinglost a son in the war he and Bisera are trying, unsuccessfully thus far, to have another child. Djuro’s hell beginswhen the Serbian owner of the house, Miki comes back with his son to reclaim his property.Miki is an honest man who has every right to the house, but Djuro has to fight for his family. He trieseverything to drive Miki away, but Miki persists. Nediljko, the mayor of the village, also wants Miki’s land for hisbusiness and gives Djuro a mine to kill Miki. Djuro cannot bring himself to do it and, feeling like a completefailure, tries to kill himself. Desperate, Bisera wants to give Djuro a reason to live – another child. She asks Mikito impregnate her. It will take more than friendship with the enemy for humanity to win.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTInspired by true events this story describes the chain of events that mercilessly whips good men and forcesthem to turn against one another fighting more viciously than when in war. The two men are claiming the samehouse, the same tiny speck of dust in the whole universe, with nowhere else to go, because there is nowhere togo. In this film we are not trying to construct or imagine. We are trying to establish strong, lifelike charactersand sincerely observe what happens to them. Like in a documentary, we are recording human emotions andthe actions they produce. They will have to dig deep to remain human and yet to change. This is an inner fightseen through action. Each of the characters lives in its own little space defined by emotions and when theirspaces clash the colors of emotions paint the screen.MAINFRAME PRODUCTIONMainframe Production is a production company specializing in European co-productions.

<strong>Agora</strong>/<strong>Market</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> - 51st Thessaloniki IFF-<strong>2010</strong>Balkan Fund ProjectsIleanaRomaniaProduced by: STRADA FILMDirector: Eva PervoloviciScriptwriter: Monica StanProducer: Marcian LazărBudget: 650.000 euroSYNOPSISIleana is a 19-year-old child, innocent, dreamy and in love. When her boyfriend, Radu, a small-time dealer ofmarijuana, gets caught by the police, she is the only one who can help him. The 16th article of the Penal Codeallows relatives or friends of the culprit to reduce his sentence by submitting information which will lead tosomeone else’s arrest. However, as she’s an outsider to the drug world, that’s not something she can achieve byherself. She seeks help from Rama, a heroin-addict who lives in the ghetto. She goes on a journey to the otherside, to a world different from the one she knows and becomes part of it in order to achieve her goal. At the endshe will face a dilemma. Will she still save Radu by sacrificing Rama, or will she stay with Rama and leave Raduin prison?DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTThere are stories that you seek and stories that come to you, that follow you for years. This is the case of Ileana,a script based on real facts. Ileana is a sort of Orpheus: she must descend to the Underworld to save the one sheloves. It is a long and hard journey that cannot leave her unscathed, that alters her view of the world and oflove.It’s a process of sacrifice - of the self and of the other - in which the initial purpose is lost or becomesambiguous. At the end, the innocent and dreamy child is transformed and has to decide not only between thelove of two men, but also between their destinies: who will go to prison and who will get away. Thus, in theend, the spectator could wonder: “How far would I go for the one I love?”STRADA FILMPRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONSTRADA FILMT. +40 21411808099M. +40 724041627contact@stradafilm.romarcian.lazar@stradafilm.rowww.stradafilm.roStrada Film was founded in 2004, having the Traffic directed by Catalin Mitulescu as its first production(Palm d’ Or for short film at Cannes).

She lives her own lifequietly with no great aspirations. Her only true companion is her dog Manu. But then, the dog dies. Whilemourning over her loss, not knowing what to do, a woman living across the street with her family comes andtakes Anna into her arms and calms her down. From that moment on, Anna replaces her dog with the life of theapparently happy family. Their everyday habits and their little moments become the centre of her universe. Shespies on them, imitates them, longs for their togetherness and reorganizes her life according to their pace andmood. But when the family gets suffocated by her overbearing behaviour, they reject her. Anna feels devastatedbut realizes that families meet their own dead-ends and shortcomings.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTI have always wanted to make a small film about a great loneliness. Subjects that don’t have fancy plot twists orcomplicated structures attract me. I just try to keep alert to the world around me, to every little detail, phrase orgesture and let them bring out the story in complete innocence, as if things were happening for the first time.It is by that means, I can understand the hidden joys and sorrows of all people.In September apparently nothing much happens. And yet, it gives me a great opportunity to bring up with aslight, humorous delight the tragicomic aspect of life; the longing for someone or something you can never be,the isolation in any given conventional structure- namely families-, the deep silence that surpasses whateverhappens in the surface of things. Two homes, one facing the other, containing lives, silences, ups and downs,hidden thoughts and dreams.TWENTY TWENTY VISIONTwenty Twenty Vision is a film production company based in Berlin, Germany.

George Mavroudis (53), High Rank police officer, is a man of fewwords. His goal is to protect the new reforming system. His son Takis and a prostitute Rita are the only people inhis life.All of a sudden, everyday routine is disturbed by a series of murders. At first, Mavroudis tortures anti –regimes as suspects and even condemns innocent people. Under his Chief’s pressure to solve the ongoing crimes,Mavroudis realizes that his son is arrested for terrorism and that Rita does not want him anymore. He eventuallylets his son get imprisoned hoping it will teach him a lesson. But when Mavroudis captures the real serial killers,both German, and meets with the mastermind behind the crimes, he recognizes the absolutism of the systemhe defends and the dead-end his own life has reached. Has he managed to destroy his life to the point of no return?DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTIn Smells Like Blood we want to create a world that reflects reality in a way that transmits to the audience theessence of every moment and every character. In the case of Mavroudis, we will see a quiet, conformed man,but gradually we will discover what lies beneath, how far he’s gone and the absolute dead end he will bringhimself to. Smells Like Blood is a story that has the great advantage of taking place in, to my opinion, the mostintriguing – politically, historically and aesthetically- period of Modern Greek History.The style of the film evokes the French “films policiers” and along with a dry sense of irony, talks about theparadoxical search of order in an irrational reality and the deep existential stress once we realize we have madea series of mistakes in our life. How far does a man have to go to realize he is wrong?WRONG MENWrong Men was founded in October 2009 by Alexandra Boussiou.

But while Mehmet, the wealthy “White Turk”, and Rüstem the “dark”, feminine immigrant, are preoccupiedwith their own prejudice, they’re blinded to the real dangers awaiting them in the shadows.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTWalk On! draws together techniques from documentary and feature film to tell the real story of Tarlabaşi, partof the municipality where I have lived for the last twenty years. At once the tale of Rüstem and Mehmet, thisfilm – which will be shot on location in this area – is also the story a place where poor Kurdish families, illegalAfrican immigrants, transvestites, and Gypsies all struggle to build some kind of community on the margins ofTurkish society despite deep differences in their values; a place where during the last 2 years over 40 peoplehave been killed because of their ethnicity and sexuality. The cast will include both professional actors but alsoactual residents of Tarlabaşi, telling their own stories. Mehmet will be played by a professional actor, but Rüstemwill be played by a Kurdish transvestite who lives and works as a ‘performer’ in the neighborhood.IN WORKS ISTANBULIN Works Istanbul is a independent art-house production company created by the directors and photographersIsmail Necmi (www.ismailnecmi.com) and Dieter Sauter (www.dieter-sauter.com) in Istanbul, in order todevelop director-driven films and documentaries.

In order to improve their meager existence, Lazar, with Tegla’smoney, becomes involved with Miki and his mob, in an undercover human trafficking operation. Lazar spends all hismoney on his girlfriend’s, Kate singing career instead of paying Tegla back. Strung out from trafficking, Lazar beats Kateup for cheating on him. Kate goes to Tegla for support. Tegla, offended by Lazar’s violence and betrayal, rats on him to apolice informant. Lazar’s illusions of grandeur are shattered by an altercation at the border where Toni, Lazar’s partnerand brother – in – law, shoots an immigrant. Sick to his stomach, Lazar sabotages his car to avoid trafficking and Tonigoes alone only to be thrown in jail, where he is murdered by Miki’s men. Lazar confronts Miki, with no result. In his lastattempt to escape, he steals money from Kate’s lover, but at the last minute he decides to come clean.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTMy Brother Lazarus is a crime drama with elements of a coming of age story. It is a story of friendship and deceit.It is also a story of crime and corruption, and one young man’s disillusionment with the glamorous world of thecriminals that he aspires to, and finding the courage to confront it. The story follows the lives of two best friends,Lazar and Tegla, and the disintegration of their friendship. As a filmmaker, I am drawn to the neo-realistic narrative,and my interest is in exploring the psychological and emotional transformation of characters in a simple humanstory. To me, the stories are about characters and how they react and change to circumstances beyond theircontrol, or the difficulties they bring upon themselves and others through their actions. I envision this film as anemotional cinematic journey, where the visual style will speak as much as the dialogue.SMALL MOVES LTD.PRODUCER’SCONTACT INFORMATIONSMALL MOVES LTD – FYROMT. +389 23211 073M. +389 70315761sristovski@yahoo.comMAINFRAME FILM PRODUCTION - CroatiaT. + 385 1 382 11 55, + 385 1 382 20 22info@mainframeproduction.comwww.mainframeproduction.comGEOPOLY LTD – BulgariaT. +359 2 9630 661M. +359 888 627 357, +359 888 605 350geopoly@gmail.comwww.geopoly-film.comSmall Moves Ltd was established in 2000.

Theyset up some very elaborate practical jokes against the people who represent the problem.The people who are chosen to be their “targets” are typical samples of this dysfunctional society: Agapi withher graceless behaviour; Lieutenant Matrozos who expresses his patriotism in the clumsiest possible way; andfinally, Police Officer Anastasis who secretly writes poems and keeps them well hidden on the hard drive of hisdesktop computer. All the above contribute with their own special way to deform the local community andmake it as appalling as possible. At least, that is what the six friends believe.As time goes by and the local media start dealing with these events, these pranks are gradually consideredas a growing threat to the local society.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTMy main aim by adapting the book Lostre (an anagram of the word crazy) by Lenos Cristidis into a feature film isto both satirize and criticize Greek modern day society.The international title of the script is Cajón, which literally means drawer in Spanish. However, the Cajóndrum is a wooden box used as a musical instrument by the first African slaves in America. The fact that theycould easily disguise this instrument as a seat or a stool, when needed, is highly related to the subject of thefilm, which is personal freedom in a conservative environment.I believe that Cajón can become one of the most thought-provoking satires of the Balkans that are strugglingto find their identity; this satire blended with some sharp humour can be the basis for a comedy which willcombine social insight with commercial success.N-ORASIS AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTIONSPRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONN-ORASIS AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTIONST. +30 2109230664M. +30 6945 491402athens@n-orasis.grsixties@n-orasis.grwww.n-orasis.grN-Orasis is an independent audiovisual company, founded in Thessaloniki in 1995 by Yannis Exintaris, ChristosNikoleris and Dimitris Stambolis.

Through the eye of its teenage protagonist Or I try to tell thestory of life in a city overburdened by the history of its dead; of the tug of war between the explosiveness ofyouth and Jerusalem’s explosive streets; and of the rage at the unfairness of life, inherited to us by our elders.

Masha, a divorced Moldovan woman,works here as a live-in-maid to support her son and save money for her dream to buy a house back home.Oblivious to the attentions of the security guard Deniz, Masha is tormented by the gap that has widenedbetween herself and her son. On her night off Masha runs into Lena, a younger woman from her village. Unbeknownstto Masha, Lena works as prostitute and after a particularly violent confrontation with her pimp;she runs away and shows up unannounced at Masha’s villa. Masha reluctantly allows Lena to stay for a while.Lena’s presence soon upsets Masha’s boss and tensions rise in the villa while the two women slowly developan intimacy. Their friendship ends in betrayal, which unexpectedly offers the possibility of a new life for both.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTGated is a story about friendship and the transformative power it can sometimes have. It is also a story aboutbetrayal, which sometimes must occur as the needs of one’s self override one’s responsibility to others. Thescript was inspired by the stories of Eastern European women in Istanbul, mostly single mothers who leave theirchildren behind to work illegally as maids, dancers or prostitutes. In the process, new forms of isolation have occurred.My intention is to make a film that provides insight into the many complex aspects of these women’slives. Masha and Lena’s story touches on several global themes from poverty and immigration to marriage andmotherhood to religious and cultural identity. However, in my view Masha and Lena are not victims. They arestrong women who take risks to survive and to better their lives. That is how I intend to tell their story.PRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONM. +90 5332605928, +1 9172085637aslihan.unaldi@gmail.com46

The outbreak of a big economic crisis leads the two sons of the family to bankruptcy forcingthem to move their families to the family house. A lot of problems are caused by the cohabitation.

The house is in a state of internal and external siege. TheCostantas family accidentally discovers that all this is happening because of the oil deposits and from then on things take adifferent turn.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTA political, allegorical comedy with plenty of surrealism, social satire and magical realism. These are the types that aremixed in order to create a contemporary Aristophanic result. We want our viewers to laugh their hearts out, to dream. Wewant the dark side of power, of “big” interests, of political games, of the high level contraband to be revealed for a momentwith a smile by the light of comedy. But we also want to play on a personal level, with human flaws and passions: arrogance,greed, gluttony, jealousy, love. The driving force of love will lead to catharsis in combination with the cunningness of thesmall, the weak, and the eternally underprivileged. This is what is demanded from comedy. The viewers must leave satisfiedand happy that the small, the poor, the weak have finally been justified.AVRA PRODUCTIONSThe company Avra Productions was set up in 1999 by the producer-director Kyriacos Tofarides, with an aim to promote andproduce T.V and film productions as well as script writing for film and television, involving both fiction and documentariesthat take their ideas and inspiration from the Cyprus society of today and its characteristics.

Both their expectations run high, but they are far from surpassing reality.The brief encounter allows us to hope that the gift, which the old man receives before the parting, a JapaneseRobodog, shall change both their lives for the better.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTThough simple in its topic, this script is running on a grave, sincere emotion, devoid of melodramatic overtones.There is a subtle tension that constantly underlies even the most banal scenes. As a director, I would try toamplify this tension with gestures that do not stand out, unexpected lines and a shooting script composed oflong takes capable of rendering more explicitly this smoldering conflict that escalates to an outburst that is, Ithink, quite necessary. This is a film about the lives we lead and the struggle to let others alter our own view ofthings.LIBRA FILMPRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONLIBRA FILM PRODUCTIONST. +40 213 266 480M. +40 733 735 909office@librafilm.netbogdan.craciun@librafilm.netwww.librafilm.netLibra Film is an independent film/TV production company founded in 1994, having a focus on producing featurefilms, shorts and documentaries.In 2004, Libra produced the award-winning documentary Great Communist Bank Robbery, by AlexandruSolomon, co-production with Les Films D’ Ici -France with support of Eurimages.

One would not expect that these characters could get together and form any kind of relationship.Under the boredom of a conventional life, and the devious pressure that this imposes on people of themodern western society – within which all is usual and expected - these three people find their own way toescape. Even though they don’t have any obvious common ground, they meet regularly and cause extreme actsof violence to random strangers. But can this explosion of violence, which they interpret as a normal process –part of their normal everyday routine - break their sense of exclusion and the monotonous flow of their life?DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTWhile following almost in real time the daily life of three different people, all the elements of the movie and theway it is filmed work as a microscope that infiltrates on the conventional life of the main characters.Through a repetitive everyday routine and ostensibly normal flow, the characters are overwhelmed internallyfrom the dead-end they face in their unsatisfied life and their inability to change it. Without being able toexperience a meaningful connection with others and themselves, they follow the steps and obligations thattheir social status, age and sex expect of them. The goal of the movie is not to portray the acts of violence in araw manner, but instead to give weight to the reasons and clues that possibly cause it, that emerge unsuspectedwithin our relationships and environments. The form of the film will contribute decisively for the best and mosteffective communication of its contents since it doesn’t want to make or stand against any didactic and moralcomments or suggest some kind of solution.HORSEFLY PRODUCTIONSHorsefly is the production label of Yorgos Tsourgiannis.

The TV-zonked father and mother aremore proud of each other than they love each other. In spite of their poverty, they think they are respectedcitizens and are keen to preserve their status as educated people. They respect the government, particularly thefather. Their understanding of the world and their own position in it is shaken when their teen-age son Tomicacomes home beaten up. After an examination, the doctor sends him home, but it seems that Tomica has quiteserious head injuries, which the doctors did not diagnose. Tomica refuses to say what happened. He is ashamedto admit it. This secret creates an atmosphere of distrust between him and his parents. The parents find theirworld of false security collapsing and have to re-examine their lives and question everything they believed in.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTThis is a story of a family in crisis, going through the horrors of Croatian institutions. Any concern of society forthe individual is an illusion. In fact, the whole of the society is based on corruption, violence and survival of thefittest. The family in my film relies on institutions, because they don’t trust each other. This is because they donot communicate. They have grown apart. This feeling is rooted in the fact that they have been living incommunism where people where believing that institutions are always right. We could say that this is a storyabout a family that could not keep afloat during the transition, about a society that has never renouncedrepression and violence. Both society and family have to take a step forward, or else they are going to explode.In order to live through this difficult period, the family has to stick together; they have to believe in themselves.This is the idea that I would like the audience to take away when they leave the theatre.MAXIMA FILMMaxima film was founded in 1992 as a company for producing mostly feature films, TV programs, documentariesand for production service to foreign film companies for shooting in Croatia.KINOELEKTRONPRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONMAXIMA FILM - CroatiaT. +385 13647700damir.teresak@zg.t-com.hrwww.maxima-film.hrKinoElektron is a production company based in Paris, founded by Janja Kralj.

Hamza is a talentedsoccer player and the man of his house. Yousef has a voice for the old Arabic ballads and prays often. Jacob is theson of new American settlers and tracks soccer teams worldwide. A hesitant Jacob joins Hamza and Yousef onthe refugee camp soccer field where the boys play like Real Madrid. Jacob becomes Hamza’s biggest fan onlyafter Yousef, pledging to be part of Hamza’s rise to soccer stardom. Now 17, Jacob becomes an Israeli soldier; hisfather’s dying wish. Yousef prepares to leave for America to escape economic hardship. Hamza is homeless andbarely maintains his dream of being part of the Palestinian National Soccer Team. The three boys’ destinies clashwithin their shared path, finding a fatal outcome in the middle of the road.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTSleeping on Stones is an epic voyage through the eyes of three boys, with a tone that carries the warm romanticismof the Holy Land. As the boys become young adults, the tone changes, reflecting the texture of the occupationand settlements. The harsh occupation introduces the subdued metallic and sterile world they must struggleunder, where they must survive and make new life choices. The purpose, intent and issue the story tackles ishow such an environment creates the basis for relationships to become malnourished. It dispels the premise ofthe conflict as being one of “Arab versus Jew”.BINTFILMCreated in 2002, BintFilm is a production company dedicated to filmmaking for the mass conscience.

To celebrate, he invites hisstar attorney László Teleki and his wife Márta on a bear-hunting weekend in Transylvania. The attorney is unenthusiastic– he despises Révi – but he sees the trip as an opportunity to heal the rift with his increasingly coldwife. Signs emerge that his wife and István are having an affair, and that the businessman is less than popularwith the locals, whom he is mercilessly exploiting. László’s suspicion grows: Maybe he is not the hunter, but thehunted. As they disappear into the forest, the only question is who will return alive.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTWeekend is a thriller that begins as an intriguing love-triangle but ends in a fast-paced chase through the picturesqueforests of Transylvania. The film will explore a number of issues typical of Eastern Europe, includingcorruption, violence and exploitation of the region’s natural resources. Tensions run high among the characters.The gangster must learn to lose. The lawyer becomes the defenseless victim. The wife is challenged to chooselife or marriage. And the peaceful villagers must take up arms to defend their rights. To heighten the drama, wewill use classical framing combined with dynamic camera movements and fast cuts. Yet, instead of recreatingthe authenticity of a documentary, we will create a mysterious and disturbing imaginary world.

Azad followsher and tries to save her at any cost - even if he would be destined not to see her any more. Is love going to bestronger than terrorism?DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTThis is a love story rather than a political thriller. It is a story about ordinary people who want to live theirordinary lives, to love and to be loved but the world they live in does not allow them. It takes place in Iraq (Kurdistan),Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkey, Germany and Bulgaria. It starts 20 years ago and ends in our days. The story istold through the eyes of the protagonist (a Kurd, as is one of the co-writers). Our wish is to focus on an originalpoint of view, rarely heard. The style will be quasi documental and the languages spoken will be the same as inreality. Our successful documentary Private Investigation - on a similar theme - is a basis and reference for thisproject. We believe that this film has the potential to contribute to the European cine-palette because it givesan optimistic perspective to the hottest today’s dilemma – love versus terrorism.ARS DIGITAL STUDIODuring the last 10 years ARS Digital Studio has become one of the major producers, delivering world-classartistic and technical Film, Video and TV production and post-production services and full music supervision,coordination and production in Bulgaria.

<strong>Agora</strong>/<strong>Market</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> - 51st Thessaloniki IFF-<strong>2010</strong>Crossroads ProjectsYouthIsraelProduced by: GREENPRODUCTIONSDirector: Tom ShovalScriptwriter: Tom ShovalProducer: Gal GreenspanCo-Producers: One Two Films, GermanyBudget: 760.000 euroSecured Financing: 30%Location: IsraelLooking for: Distributors, BroadcastersSYNOPSISYouth is a contemporary family drama with thriller elements. The film tells the story of Yaki and Shaul, twoteenage brothers who share a strong, almost telepathic connection between them. The brother’s family issuffering from an overgrowing debt, which led to a deep depression of their father. The brothers feel that theycan’t just stand on the sidelines while their family falls apart. Up until now they were helpless but now withYaki’s enlistment to the army, like every other 18-year-old Israeli boy, he is given a rifle. This rifle gives thebrothers the power they need to act and from helpless teenagers they become men.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTYouth depicts the texture of everyday life in Petah-Tikva, my home town, and shines a light on the Israeli middle-class,a population that is being eroded by recent government reforms and accelerated capitalism.One of the film’s notions is the denial inside the nuclear family. The film will adopt the brothers’ point-ofview,and so the viewers will see only half truths, just as the brothers see their unclear world.The brothers’ polarized state of being is visualized by the floors they must climb up and down – between thefrightened girl they are holding in the basement, and their family in the third floor. Up on top they’re good andpure, way down at the bottom they’re cruel and violent. And yet both actions go toward the same end, it’s onlythe means that differ. This duality is the basis of my film.GREENPRODUCTIONSGREENproductions is a young film production company dedicated to the creation of quality art house films ofpromising young Israeli writer/directors, which offer both innovation and excitement to its audiences.

The program isoffered to students who specialize in filmproduction and who are currently enrolled in filmschools in Europe, the Balkans or theMediterranean countries.


The 51st Thessaloniki International Film Festival continues this year’s edition ofthe Salonica Studio educational initiative for university students specializing inwriting and film directing/production, which was inaugurated in 2006. It is across cultural program, extending to participants from other European and Mediterraneancountries which is organised with the involvement of the School of Film Studiesof the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The program runs parallel to the other TIFFindustry related activities: the <strong>Agora</strong>-TIFF <strong>Market</strong>, the Balkan Fund-TIFF Script DevelopmentFund and the Crossroads Co-Production Forum, from 3rd to 7th of December,within the confounds of T.I.F.F.’s major film festival.In <strong>2010</strong>, and for the third year, Salonica Studio is part of the Four Corners initialtraining scheme, supported by the MEDIA Program of the European Union. It bringstogether students and graduates from around Europe and helps them to develop, tofinance and to produce first feature films that will thrive and prosper in the Europeanand international market place. Twelve project teams attend seminars on internationalfunding and sales, special screenings and many of the festival’s developmental activitiesrelated to their career objectives. The central idea is to identify and nurture themost talented European film students (and eligible postgraduates) who can demonstratethe potential to create economically viable new films and programs that willfind audiences beyond their own cultures. The programme is run and taught by acclaimedpersonalities and specialists in the film industry, in matters of co-production,financing, rights, distribution and marketing.Each project group consists of 2-3 people, and each contains at least one writer andone producer. Eight of the groups come from the four partner members (Greece, Spain,Denmark and Bulgaria) while the remaining four groups (i.e., up to twelve people)consist of participants from other European film schools and countries (UK, Estonia,Poland, Croatia & Slovenia). The three previous workshops were held in Terrassa, Sitges(Spain) and Sofia (Bulgaria) while the programme will be completed with the fourthone, Salonica Studio, in Thessaloniki, Greece.Participants have taken their project through the development phase to the presentationto the market. There has been continuous work on the script, during, and inbetween, the workshops, supplemented by conferences on industrial and creative aspectsof the business.As an additional element to the development package, the programme offered thepossibility for project teams to produce, in conjunction with their home film schools,a short teaser trailer for their film. Four Corners offered award of up to €5000 each towardsthe production costs of the five best trailer proposals developed on the course.The teaser trailers will be presented at the Salonica Studio workshop during the finalpitch to the <strong>Agora</strong>’s experts panel on the 6th of December.Thirty one students from eight film schools in different countries are this year’syoung professionals to whom we show the whole process of producing a film in simulation:from the concept to the sales.SPECIALISTS:Isabelle Fauvel,Borivoj Dovnikovic-BordoLECTURERS:Dimitri Eipides,Christian Routh,Yorgos TsourgiannisFor further information visit the Four Corners site:www.four4corners.comContact Person:Themis VeleniCoordinator of Salonica Studio/Four CornersThessaloniki International Film Festivalveleni@tiff.gr
