Looking Forward to the Next Mistakes — Summary of the 17th Edition of Berlinale Talents
The Talent Naama Bunimovitz at the Camera Studio. Foto/photo: © Peter Himsel, Berlinale 2019
In front of a full house, anti-Mafia author Roberto Saviano brought the 17th edition of Berlinale Talents to a successful close. Charlotte Rampling, Erika Lust, André Téchiné, Adina Pintilie, David Lowery, Sandra Hüller, Guy Nattiv, James Schamus, Joanna Hogg and 120 other guests discussed with 250 Talents and thousands of Berliners about making (wrong) choices and dealing with them productively.
One thing was clear: Mistakes happen and quitting is seldom the best option — you have to face personal and social challenges by finding your own artistic paths, or detours, and pursuing them with a passion.

Belgrade was the focus of a co-production meeting with a difference last weekend when the Fest Forward Industry Meetings (March 4-6) focused its public pitchings on projects by and about women.
“We decided that the focus should be on the situation of women in the film industry and gender equality because this issue is of particular importance for us in ex-Yugoslavia as well as other parts of the Balkans,” said the event’s managing director Miroslav Mogorovic.
Ten projects were selected for public pitchings ranging from Serbian first-time director Milica Tomovic’s The Last Goodbye, a romantic love story about a young urban couple in a long-distance relationship between Belgrade and Berlin, to Croatian directorial duo Marina Andree Skop and Drazen Zarkovic’s children fantasy adventure My Grandpa Is An Alien and Macedonian filmmaker Marija Dzidzeva’s drama The Victim...

The Lesson by co-directors Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov was the big winner at this year’s Sofia International Film Festival in Bulgaria.
The duo’s feature debut became the second Bulgarian feature in Siff’s 19-year history to receive the international jury’s Grand Prix after Dragomir Sholev’s Shelter in 2011.
The Lesson also picked up the Audience Award, the Fipresci International Critics’ Prize and the award for the Best Bulgarian Feature Film.
Accepting the award, Valchanov pointed to the importance of the Sofia Meetings where The Lesson had originally been pitched and said that this event should be ¨an example¨ to the Bulgarian state to develop a long-term and sustainable film policy for the future.
The sentiment was echoed by international jury president Stephan Komanderev (The Judgement) when he presented the ¨Sofia City Of Film¨ Grand Prix to the young directors.

Mexico City-set dark comedy Chicuarotes revolves around teenagers living on the edge of a tourist lake.
Mexican actor, director and producer Gael Garcia Bernal is hoping to shoot his second feature Chicuarotes early next year about a group of teenagers growing up by Xochimilco Lake in Mexico City.
Speaking to ScreenDaily, Bernal said: “The film will follow a group of kids - around 14, 15 years-old - who live by the lake. They’re economically poor but not miserable or unhappy, basically living in paradise.
“The narrative of the film follows their dreams of moving up economically and socially. They want to stop working and make lots of money. I can’t tell you now how they attempt to do this but it’s a comedy - a very dark comedy.”

The first of Sarajevo’s Industry Days featured a discussion on the challenges of international co-production.
As the Sarajevo City of Film Fund expands this year from short micro-budget films to international features, the first of the festival’s Industry Days saw the conference “International co-production – spreading the European co-production model overseas”.
The panel comprised Sarajevo’s head of industry Jovan Marjanovic; coordinator of the Mexican Film Commission at Imcine, Mariana Cerrilla Noriega; Isabel Davis, head of international film fund at the BFI; Oscar-winning producer Cedomir Kolar of Paris-based Asap Films; and Sanja Ravlic, head of coproductions at the Croatian Audiovisual Centre. The talk was moderated by Marten Rabarts of the National Film Development Corporation of India.
One major point discussed was that small territories find it tough to sign bilateral treaties that encourage co-production.

C edomir Kolar, one of the founders of Paris-based Asap Films, that co-produced the hugely successful Lunchbox has now boarded Rajesh Jala’s Chingari (The Spark) at Nfdc Film Bazaar 2013. Kolar talks to DearCinema about what drew him towards Chingari (Incredible India Award winner) and the market for Indian films abroad:
What did you like about Chingari?
First of all, I liked the way the soft-spoken director Rajesh Jala was trying to convince me of his script at the Screenwriters’ Lab. (Read Rajesh Jala on “Chingari” here) Two years ago I had met Ritesh Batra at Screenwriters Lab in Goa too. I know things do not repeat themselves in our business but that does not mean a little bit of superstition doesn’t matter.
Chingari has all the elements that appeal to a producer. Set in Banaras, it is visually a very appealing story. I like the characters who are very typically Indian.
