The Ice Hole (Prorub), Screen International’s first Best Pitch Award winner at last year’s Moscow Business Square, is now in post-production in Moscow.
Speaking during this year’s Berlinale, director Andrey Silvestrov recalled how the film’s shoot “was not easy because we were only supported by private companies and private individuals, our friends.”
The low-budget production was produced by Silvestrov’s new company the League of Experimental Films together with post-production outfit Cosmosfilm who had also given an award to The Ice Hole in Moscow last June.
“The government and large production companies were scared to get involved with us,” Silvestrov said about the comedy, which follows an artist, an oligarch, a Russian president and an alcoholic.
“But I’m pleased that we have not made any compromises and we now have exactly what I wanted,” he continued...

Producer-director Andrey Silvestrov’s The Ice Hole was named the winner of the first Screen International Best Pitch Award at the Moscow Business Square (Mbs).
The €400,000 comedy by Silvestrov’s new company Cooperation Propub is based on characters who are typical to the modern world: an artist, an oligarch, the Russian president and an alcoholic.
The ironic and tragic view of modern Russia also received an award sponsored by the Russian company Cosmosfilm.
In addition, the Finnish post-production house Post Control offered production services as a prize to Elizaveta Stishova’s Suleiman Mountain by Trikita Entertainment, which is being developed as part of the B’Est training programme.

Roskino and Russian Cinema Fund to make presentations.
Russian cinema will be represented by not one, but two stands at the Marché du Film much to the bewilderment of some in the industry.
While Roskino, the successor to the former state film organisation Sovexportfilm, is the official organiser of the Russian Pavilion with support from the Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs, the Russian Cinema Fund is backing the Russian Cinema stand in the Festival Palais.
Both initiatives will be having presentations of extracts from completed films or works in progress to sales agents, distributors and festival programmers.
Roskino’s line-up on May 17 will include Natalia Meshaninova’s The Hope Factory [pictured], Igor Voloshin’s Moscow-Russia Express, the documentary Rudolf Nureyev. A Rebel Demon, and Sergei Dvortsevoy’s My Little One, co-produced by the late Karl Baumgartner.
The Russian Cinema Fund will follow three days later – on May 20 - with its own showcase of 19 projects at various stages...

Other projects supported by Romania’s film fund include Cristian Mungiu’s Rmd and Tudor Giurgiu’s Apropierea.
Romania’s Centrul National al Cinematografiei (Cnc) has become the latest European film fund to be raided by the ubiquitous film-maker Peter Greenaway for a future project.
Greenaway’s Walking To Paris (Mergand Spre Paris), which is being structured as a co-production between his regular producer Kees Kasander’s UK-based Cinatura, Switzerland’s Cobra Film, France’s Cdp Productions and Romania’s Abis Studio, received 291,000 Ron (€65,000) in the results of the 2013 call for projects.
Walking To Paris centres on the 27-year-old Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi who set off a month-long trek across Europe from Romania to Paris in 1903, and will show how Brancusi’s fight for survival and many adventures during his journey influenced his subsequent work.
Greenaway had previously accessed the Croatian Audiovisual Centre for Goltzius And The Pelican Company and the Polish Film Institute for Nightwatching, while...
