‘Fire Fire Fire,’ the Coming-of-Age Story of a ‘Modern Witch,’ Boarded by Rise & Shine, Trailer Debuts (EXCLUSIVE)
‘Fire Fire Fire,’ acquired by Rise & Shine, is described by director Pauline Jeanbourquin as a 'coming-of-age story of a modern witch.'
The poetic and captivating coming-of-age story of a young girl with healing talents, is produced by high-profile Geneva-based Close Up Films, credited for the 2023 Swiss Oscar entry “Thunder” and as co-producer of the Oscar-nominated “I Am Not Your Negro.” Rise & Shine’s festival manager Anja Dziersk adds: “It’s one of the greatest challenges for any documentary filmmaker to capture genuine and authentic coming-of-age stories. The film was co-produced by public broadcaster RTS (“they are true champions of the documentary form, willing to take risks on emerging directors,” says Zanon), with support from the Federal Office for Culture, Cinéforom and the Loterie Romande, with additional grants from the SSA, Suissimage and MEDIA Desk Switzerland.
