The Dutch feature film Silent Ones has been selected for the Skopje Film Festival. The festival, which takes place in Macedonia from April 23 to 30, has selected 26 films, including The Missing Picture by Rithy Panh, Heli by Amat Escalante, and work by Ulrich Seidl and Jim Jarmusch. Silent Ones is the feature film debut of Ricky Rijneke and has since been screened at many international festivals, including Moscow, Sarajevo, Sao Paulo, Montreal, Los Angeles, and Berlin. The film won various awards, including Best Debut, Best Cinematography, Best Actor, and recently the top prize for Best Film at the Berlin Independent Film Festival. Silent Ones was previously nominated for the Tiger Award, the competition program and flagship of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, where the film was very positively received by the trade press. The International Cinephile Society (ICS): 'A powerful, very self-assured debut, Silent Ones confirms that the director is one to watch.' The film was compared by the reviewer to the work of Bruno Dumont. Curator Film PHI Center Montreal: 'Attention talent! One of the best films I saw at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Outstanding film debut.' The Dutch press was also very complimentary. De Volkskrant spoke of a wonderful discovery and called the film a confident, disruptive directorial debut. Silent Ones tells the story of a young Hungarian woman (Orsi Tóth) who, after her younger brother Isti disappears, sets off aboard a cargo ship to fulfill her promise to him. A surreal trip balancing on the edge of life and death. Silent Ones was produced by Rotterdam Films (Rijneke & van Leeuwaarden) and was made possible with support from the Netherlands Film Fund and the Mondriaan Fund. International sales are handled by the French sales agent Wide Management. Distributor Contact Film will release the film in the Netherlands at the end of November this year.
