South African Co Production
by Chop Productions 02 May '06

02 May '06

2 May 2006 Filmstudio An Der Ruth Aachen Templergraben 55 52056 Aachen Germany CO-PRODUCTION MEETING IN CANNES Dear Claus Schotten Chop Productions are seeking co-production partners to produce a feature film in South Africa, based on a Zakes Mda novel, "The Heart of Redness". Our company has a 2 year option to produce the film. Camagu, a 40 year old Black man, returns to South Africa after 30 years in exile in the USA to find that his obscure qualifications and lack of "struggle credentials" leaves him unemployable, disillusioned and somewhat embittered. The story takes a neat turn as he is catapulted into a drama that is unfolding on the shores of the notorious "Wild Coast", played out by a host of richly developed rural characters who's antics are both humorous and tragic. Camagu is embroiled in an amusing love triangle, a battle against casino developers and a journey of African self discovery. Through an accessible and entertaining contemporary story, the film deals with a seminal and controversial South African history, the Xhosa Cattle Killing or Great Suicide, and brings forth pertinent perspectives of colonialism, African-ism and imperialism. Chop, once partnered with suitable co-producers, will be able to unlock a wealth of South African financing, most notably a 25% Department of Trade and Industry rebate. We anticipate the overall budget of the film being in the region of $6m. We would be very interested in meeting with you during the Cannes festival to discuss the project and attachments further. We will be in Cannes between the 17th and 24th May. Please revert back to us with a suitable date, time and place for an appointment. We look forward to meeting with you in Cannes.

by INFORMATIONS TITLE FILMS 02 May '06

02 May '06

10 mai 2006 Sortie belge du film long métrage « The Room » un thriller fantastique belge de Giles Daoust avec Pascal Duquenne Cinémas UGC, Kinepolis, Imagix, Acinapolis et Carollywood Bande annonce sur <http://www.titlefilms.be/theroom> www.titlefilms.be/theroom <http://www.titlefilms.be/theroom> The Room raconte l’histoire d’Alex (Pascal Duquenne), un homme trisomique cloué dans une chaise roulante, persécuté par des parents méchants. Au plus fort de la crise familiale, une mystérieuse Porte apparaît dans la maison, et chaque personne qui en franchit le seul disparaît dans un cri d’effroi. La seule personne qui pourra aider Alex dans cette situation est Melinda (Caroline Veyt), sa sœur dévouée, qui, enceinte d’un inconnu, était sur le point de déménager pour refaire sa vie, abandonnant Alex. Enfermée dans la maison, la famille devra affronter ses plus sombres secrets, ce qui la poussera au bord de la démence… et au-delà. Bientôt, ils sauront ce qu’il y a dans la pièce, et se rendront compte qu’Alex n’est pas aussi innocent qu’il y paraît. Après le film expérimental Last Night on Earth, qui fut sélectionné à divers festivals internationaux (Hollywood Film Festival, Luxembourg International Film Festival, Toronto Rebelfest Film Festival…), le belge Giles Daoust réalise ici son deuxième film long métrage. Pascal Duquenne marque son grand retour devant la caméra après 10 ans d’absence et le succès international du film Le Huitième jour de Jaco Van Dormael, qui lui avait valu le Prix d’Interprétation au Festival de Cannes. Caroline Veyt a notamment joué dans Le roi danse de Gérard Corbiau, ainsi que Mes copines de Sylvie Ayme. Philippe Résimont, acteur de théâtre confirmé, a joué dans le film de Benoît Mariage Les convoyeurs attendent. The Room est un film 100 % belge, produit par la société bruxelloise Title Films sa/nv et financé par des sociétés privées notamment grâce au mécanisme du Tax Shelter, octroyant une exonération fiscale de 150% aux sociétés belges investissant dans des films longs métrages belges. Il a également eu le soutien de la SABAM. Il a été produit en 6 mois et est entièrement réalisé en Belgique. Tourné en français, il a été conçu à l’aide des nouvelles technologies Haute Définition, et bénéficie dès lors d’une approche visuelle très recherchée ainsi qu’un sound design et une musique très riches. C’est le groupe belge Airlock qui a composé la musique symphonique et électronique du film. The Room a été sélectionné au Festival International du Film Fantastique de Bruxelles 2006 ( <http://www.bifff.org/> www.bifff.org), dans la catégorie Meilleur Film Européen. Il était également le film d’ouverture de la sélection parallèle du BIFFF au Cinéma Le Parc à Charleroi. The Room représentera aussi la Belgique à Euro Ciné 25 ( <http://www.eurocine25.be/> www.eurocine25.be), le festival de cinéma européen qui se tiendra à Bruxelles le 9 mai 2006. Enfin, The Room sera présent au Marché du Film, au Festival de Cannes 2006. Title Films sa/nv, la société de production audiovisuelle fondée en 2003 par Giles Daoust, Alain Berliner et Serge Peffer, produit ici son deuxième long métrage après Last Night on Earth. Avec une volonté de mettre en avant les jeunes talents belges, Title Films a constitué une équipe dont la moyenne d’âge ne dépassait pas les 30 ans. Title Films est par ailleurs membre de la CCIB depuis 2004. The Room sortira en Belgique le mercredi 10 mai 2006 dans les salles UGC De Brouckère à Bruxelles et Louvain-La-Neuve, Kinepolis à Bruxelles et Braine-l'Alleud, Imagix à Mons et Tournai, Acinapolis à Namur et Carollywood à Charleroi. Distribution belge : Les films de l’Elysée, 1, avenue Château Jaco à 1410 Waterloo. Plusieurs événements seront organisés pour le lancement du film, en présence de Pascal Duquenne et de Giles Daoust : des avant-premières le vendredi 5 mai 2006, à 20 h à l’Acinapolis Namur ; le lundi 8 mai 2006, à 19h et 20h, respectivement, à l’UGC Louvain-La-Neuve et au Kinepolis Imagibraine ; le mardi 9 mai 2006, à 19h30 à l’UGC De Brouckère (Euro Ciné 25).

Cannes festival : letter of invitation
by VPI Film 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello, I send you in attached files, the poster and the trailer of my last short film The cross roads . My short film has already appealed to many people and it will be in Cannes in the Short Film Corner selection (17-27 May) and also in the famous festival of La Ciotat, in France, (May 30th June 3rd). I will be also in Cannes and I would really appreciate it if you could spend the time to watch my film (subtitled) which was shot with a budget of only 2000 Euros. My film is about the period of the Second Worlwide war. Im myself passionate by this subject and, as French, I regret that any french fiction is exposing the sacrifice of so many soldiers from abroad. Without them we would not be here today. French movies about the war are only focused on the work, essential and heroic as well of the Resistance movement. I deplore it sincerely. This cannot help with the tension still happening between the USA and France, especially since the war in Irak. With this movie, the destiny of American soldiers meeting a European family, I want to pay an hommage to all the men who fought and died in Europe. My following project will be a feature about the fights who took place in August 1944 in the South of France, (a subject which hasnt been treated at yet in any motion picture to my knowledge), and will show the french commandos, american paratroopers and french resistance going to action. Today, I' m looking for partners and I would be happy to make an appointment with you in Cannes to show you my new script which is of particular interest, and also to set up a dialogue to do business with you. We will be attending Cannes Market, let's meet.
