Athina Rachel Tsangari’s ‘Harvest’ Heads the Match Factory’s Venice Slate
Venice Film Festival competition title 'Harvest,' by Athina Rachel Tsangari, is one of three films at the festival represented by the Match Factory.
The other two are “Edge of Night,” the debut feature by German-Turkish director Türker Süer, screening in Horizons Extra, and “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass,” an animated film by the Quay Brothers, playing in Venice Days. The film’s ensemble also includes Rosy McEwen (“Blue Jean”), Arinze Kene (Bob Marley in “Get Up, Stand Up!”), Thalissa Teixeira (“Trigonometry”) and Frank Dillane (“The Essex Serpent,” “How to Build a Girl”). Mixing animation with live-action elements, the film follows a son’s visit to his dying father in a moribund Sanatorium, only to find himself consumed within a dubious time realm where objects and events can no longer be measured in any tangible form.
