Lemming film project exotic pictures wint arte prijs in

Op de slotavond van de Asian Project Market (Busan International Filmfestival) ontving EXOTIC PICTURES de ARTE International Prize. Het project is een samenwerking tussen Lemming Film en de gerenommeerde Indonesische filmmaker Edwin en zijn productie bedrijf Babibutafilm. Aan de ARTE International Prize is een bedrag van €6000 voor project ontwikkeling verbonden. De film Exotic Pictures zal de lange en onderdrukte geschiedenis tussen de Nederlanders en de Indonesiërs via oorlog, sex, verlangen en verraad onderzoeken. Het verhaal speelt zich af op Bali in vier verschillende periodes tussen 1940 tot eind jaren '50. De regie is in handen van Indonesisch regisseur Edwin, die samen met Marco van Geffen het scenario schrijft. Edwin's korte film Kara, Daughter of a Tree was de eerste Indonesische korte film die geselecteerd werd voor de Director's Fortnight (Film Festival Cannes 2005). Zijn speelfilm debuut Blind Pig who Wants to Fly (2008) ging in wereldpremière tijdens het Busan Film Festival waarna de film wereldwijd op vele filmfestivals diverse prijzen won. Met zijn laatste film Postcards from the Zoo was Edwin in 2012 de eerste Indonesische regisseur in competitie van het Film Festival Berlijn. Scenarioschrijver en regisseur Marco van Geffen schreef diverse prijswinnende filmscenario's en regisseerde verschillende korte films, waarvan Het Zusje in 2007 geselecteerd werd voor de competitie van het Film Festival Cannes. Zijn speelfilmdebuut Onder Ons beleefde zijn wereldpremière op het Locarno Film Festival, waar de film twee prijzen in de wacht sleepte. Voor het scenario van zijn tweede speelfilm In jouw Naam ontving hij de International Relations ARTE Prijs tijdens het Film Festival Cannes. De film wordt in het voorjaar van 2014 in de filmtheaters verwacht. Exotic Pictures werd gepresenteerd tijdens Paris Projects 2013 en tijdens het Productie Platform van het Nederlands Film Festival. De film wordt geproduceerd door Lemming Film en Babibutafilm. Als Duitse co-producent is Pallas Film aan het project verbonden.

Media Discrimin...

Media profesionals in action.

Dear profesionals for Film Tv and Theater We are sending this message call with only one purpose do not make ourselfs quite anymore. We know a lot of you are discriminated because of your: -Sex, Orientation -Race, Color -Age, Knowledge or not -Cultur, Acent -and we are all discriminated by offering us to work "Unpaid"! -Or just because of your looks A lot of you don't have the chance to make a decent Cv or Reel As an example: If a Marrocan or Turkish etc, is an actor we all know what kind of rol is going to end up playing, and a lot of them or us have to humilite ourselfs and our people not even say families just because somebody decided that certain group is more important than the rest and we have to play always the same part. There are not bad or good people, just not well educated and we all have of that everywhere, someplaces more, some places less but are everywhere even in this country. In Europe and in Us and some others developed countries where the biggest group are white people are always for them the main characters. They control the media and any kind of talent agent, editor, writer and screenwriter no need to name any further jobs involucrating media. We don't try to go against this people my only interest is in working all together with the same purpose to make a change of it. We need more writers and screenwriters that they don't just write about white people but multi-ethnic If you see around you in the street you will realise how many different but also similar human beings like you and me there are. We gonna stop making movies about racism, plays in Theater with critics about it,Tv series full of it the only thing it does is promoted. http://www.wireservice.co/2012/07/are-multi-ethnic-actors-discriminated-against/ In New York they have already started lets make it Multi Ethnic. WE ARE NOT ALONE. Even the known actress: Salma Hayek claims she's being discriminated against in Hollywood because of her Mexican roots. She reckons people look down on actors who are from a Mexican background. The actress is up for a Golden Globe for her role in hit movie Frida, which she returned to Mexico to film. "In Hollywood, everybody looks down on you if you are Mexican," she told TV Movie magazine. "They all let you know you are not wanted here." Salma adds that she often wonders whether she was of a sane mind when she agreed to star in Frida. "I go and shoot a period piece about a crippled, bisexual, communist painter," she said. "Sounds a lot like a flop, doesn't it?" if you check Salma hayek in the actor studio you can even hear it yourself. Join!
