Transnistra at BBC Reel Longshot
Congratulations to Anna Eborn and the whole team of Transnistra for winning the Audience Award at BBC Reel LongShots Festival!
Nominated by Eric Hynes, First Look Film Festival, MoMI New York
“It’s one of the reasons I love documentary. A filmmaker embedding herself with a talented group of collaborators in an area that allows me to come into a world I would normally have no access to. Expressing their lives in a way that’s truly accessible.
“Seeing [Tanya, the film’s main subject] navigate certain scenes and certain days, being filmed… I was just a human being watching something all women navigate: taking other people’s feelings in account without first taking your own into account. Seeing that on her face was really, really powerful.”

Arica’s release started with a bang!
Arica by Lars Edman and William Johansson Kalén was released last week and immediately made big news. It had an avant-premiere at Docville and is now playing in major cities in Flanders. At Docville, Arica received a special mention from the Docville jury in the Con-Science competition.
Even better news came when Per Bolund, the Swedish Minister of Environment, announced that Sweden is ready to assist cleaning up the toxic waste in Arica if Chile requests so. Well done!

Dark Rider got out and the Flemish press loved it
Dark Rider, the new film by Eva Küpper has been released and received some well-deserved recognition. The film follows Ben Felten, a blind motorcyclist who is determined to become the fastest blind motorcycle rider in the world.
De Morgen loves the adrenaline: ‘The result exceeds all expectations, now that Dark Rider can be seen on the big screen, you can really feel the seats vibrating during the motorbike scenes.’ De Standaard is equally enthusiastic and praises Felten’s bravery: ‘Adjusting to the whims of life sometimes requires inhuman strength. Admiration is no less appropriate.’
Go and see this film on the big screen.
