Giant Rolling Raspberries, tragic beauty queens and a happy end on an air mattress…
ANSICHTSSACHE – the international co-production project with up-and-coming scriptwriters from Leipzig is taking place in 2011 for the third time. The successful cooperation between film schools in the Ukraine and Poland is being continued in cooperation with the Dunav Film School in Belgrade. The German partner is – as before – the renowned Deutsche Literaturinstitut Leipzig.
On Thursday, February 3, 2011 a jury of media experts chose six scripts for use with the Serbian film students. The winners are Choleda Jasdany, Mónika Koncz, Babét Mader, Therese Schreiber, Manuel Stallbaumer und Julia Walter.
These young writers have developed exciting film material through the scriptwriting seminar led by Cathy de Haan since October 2010 – in cooperation with EU candidate Serbia. Whether tragic or comedic, each script has its own signature and invites the Serbian directors to enter into a creative dialogue. The winners will take part in a workshop at the Dunav Film School in Belgrade where the authors from Leipzig and their Serbian counterparts will continue to develop the scripts together. The films will be shot in Serbia in the summer of 2011. The short films will have their premiere in a special program at the FilmFestival Cottbus in early November 2011.
