Starting the weekend with a bang! So happy and honoured we’ve received Eurimages support for our upcoming film ‘The Falling Sky’ by Pieter Van Eecke, coproduced by Een van de jongens.

Great news from Finland! Last night ‘Gods of Molenbeek’ by Reetta Huhtanen won the Finnish Oscar (Jussi Award) for Best Documentary. Congratulations to the whole team!

YES, great news! For the 3rd time we have received slate funding from Creative Europe for 5 new projects: ‘Fuga’, ‘Draw for Change!’, ‘Marching in the Dark’, ‘Planeet B’ and ‘My Paper Life’!

Wonderful news! Yet another award for ‘Overseas’: Best Feature Documentary at DOXA Documentary Film Festival! Congrats to the director Sung-a Yoon and the wonderful crew!

Jury statement:
“Alternating between role-play re-enactments and intimate everyday moments, Sung-A Yoon’s stunning film allows these women to tell their stories in the present tense, bringing us closer to their reality while allowing space for emotion and reflection. Through its artistry and tenderness, the film challenges our perceptions of Filipina domestic workers and shows how we as a society are complicit in their treatment. The jury was impressed by the film’s ability to bring emotional power and formal intelligence to the pressing issues faced by migrant domestic workers that have been ignored for far too long.”

New award for ‘Overseas’: Amnesty International Catalunya Award at DocsBarcelona 2020.

“This award is applicable to any of the films with a theme or topic that defends the rights proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the freedom of speech and the values shared by International Amnesty, and it also shows a remarkable use of cinematographic elements in the fight for transforming reality.”

Congratulations to the director Sung-A Yoon and the great team behind it: Thomas Schira (DOP), Kwinten Van Laethem (sound), Dieter Diependaele (editing) and all the others!
