‘Cherub,’ ‘Duchampiana,’ ‘Les Diplomates’ Awarded at Rotterdam’s CineMart
Barbara Rupik’s 'Cherub' was awarded the Eurimages New Lab Awards for Innovation at CineMart, the co-production market arm of IFFR.
Rupik’s project follows the titular creatures, shape-shifting angelic beings with human heads and birdlike wings, as they descend to a forgotten village to claim the soul of a dying girl. “Duchampiana” is an artistic VR experience focused on body politics and inspired by Duchamp’s “Nude Descending a Staircase.” The installation will follow its protagonist along an infinite staircase into a poetic exploration of what it means to claim one’s place in the world. “The variety of projects on offer at our co-production market has never been richer, not only in terms of the diversity of stories and their countries of origin, but also in their mediums and production stages,” said head of IFFR Pro Alessia Acone.
