A film each from our panel of four (clockwise in the picture above starting top-right):
HEART OF SKY, HEART OF EARTH (Film Republic) – This documentary brings beautifully into profile the ending, in December 2012, of a great cycle in the ancient Mayan calendar. The Mayan people, their identity still intact, make poignant comparisons between ancient and modern perspectives. Umbrella Films, distributed in Germany.
A SERBIAN FILM (Jinga Films) – This film has been repeatedly banned throughout the world for the horrific and cruel nature of some of its scenes. It’s about a guy who, desperate to feed his family, is exploited by the porn industry and who becomes involved in the staggeringly depraved vision of a porn film director. Picked up by Revolver Entertainment.
COLIN (Left Films) – This staggeringly successful zombie film, distributed worldwide, was made for a reputed budget of £45 and deals with a zombie’s plight, uniquely, from a zombie point of view. A classic of its genre.
THE SAPPHIRES (Goalpost Films) – This film was recently picked up by The Weistein Company and was successfully screened at Cannes earlier this year. It is based on a true story of the 60s, about four Aboriginal girls who, for a while, became Australia’s answer to The Supremes and were sent to Vietnam to entertain the troops. It’s a classic story about youth and music, family and emotion. To be released in November of this year (IMDb).
Our panel of film sales professionals, Nicki Parfitt, Julian Richards, Xavier Rashid and Helen Grace will be answering questions about how they choose films and how they sell them.
