Film Wing, the fish that talked back wins awards again The short film WING, the fish that talked back by Ricky Rijneke has won the award for best fiction debut at the international debut film festival SCENECS. She received the 'The Dutch Golden Stone' award last Saturday. The prize also includes a cash award of €10,000 to be spent on a new film. The ten-member expert jury consisted of filmmakers, actors, and journalists, including Jos Stelling, Pieter Verhoeff, Stevin de Jong, and Ronald Ockhuysen. SCENECS is an international debut film festival that gives new directors the opportunity for further development with their first film. Scenecs took place in Amersfoort from November 3 to 7. In WING, the fish that talked back, daily life is told from the perspective of the six-year-old Asian girl Wing, who gets lost in her imagination. The events in her world are wondrous, sometimes strange and terrifying. WING, the fish that talked back was screened at more than 50 international film festivals worldwide. The film has already received several awards, including in the USA. Recently, the film won the Jury Prize at the Côte Bleue Short Film Festival in France. The world premiere took place at the prestigious Locarno Film Festival in the official 'Leopards of Tomorrow' competition. The film was made as part of Kort Rotterdams with partial support from the RMF. The RMF posted the film illegally on their site for a long time. International sales are handled by Elypse Film Distribution in Spain. The film has been sold in various countries. The film was produced by Werkstad Producties (Ricky Rijneke) in collaboration with Rotterdam Films (Rijneke & van Leeuwaarden). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION --------------------------- Ricky Rijneke is currently working on the completion of her feature film debut, De Stillen, with an international cast and crew, including actress Orsi Toth (shooting star Berlinale 2009). She previously starred in the films WOMEN WITHOUT MEN (Silver Lion Venice Film Festival 2009) and DELTA (Fripresci Award Cannes Film Festival 2008).

Hello.. We are looking for people interested in participating (equipment & know-how) in a film recording of a (unique) concert by an "alt-country, neo-Folk ROCK" (USA) band on December 14 and possibly also December 15 in the Netherlands. The intention is to record the entire thing with approximately 10 "fixed" cameras (with sound) and have this edited by various (well-known) directors. Initially, there is no budget (yet). email to Toon

Non-fiction is the starting point; a fictional story the final destination. Young Flemish theatre makers Jeroen Vander Ven and Thomas Bellinck reveal the motivations and frustrations of the soldier leaving for a mission in Afghanistan. Against the harsh reality of war images, Fobbit tells the story of a father who misses his family and the boyhood dream of being an invincible hero. Based on interviews, diaries, and photographs, Steigeisen explores the no-man's-land between historical fact and petty human fiction. De Morgen on Fobbit: It is a mosaic of stories held together by Vander Ven's intense performance and the stunning stage design. Spoken in Dutch. By and with: Jeroen Vander Ven and Thomas Bellinck Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 November at 8:30 PM. For more information see: www.brakkegrond.nl

Six characters—six vertically positioned flat screens—sit at a long table, with six chairs, six glasses, a bottle of water.... A seventh chair is empty. Waiting for the sheikh and hoping he comes, for there is quite a lot to discuss. The Flemish Berlin creates cinematic theater, a blend of documentary, performance, and video. Documentary? Theater? Installation? Go see it and conclude with the makers that there are different truths, and a label doesn't really matter. Spoken in English and German, with Dutch subtitles. On Wednesday, November 17 and Thursday, November 18 at 8:30 PM For more information see: www.brakkegrond.nl
