It’s Alive Films, No-Office Films Link for ‘Halima,’ About a Somali Girl in a ‘90s Finland of Boybands, Tamagotchis and Popper Pants (EXCLUSIVE)
‘Halima’ is written and directed by Naima Mohamud, and a partly autobiographical dramedy set in ‘90s Finland.
In Mohamud’s partly autobiographical “down-to-earth dramedy about loneliness, childhood and conquering your fears” – currently in development and eyeing a 2025 shoot – it will be Halima’s turn to experience such “heartwarming and humorous” misadventures. It’s Alive Films is behind Oscar submission “Euthanizer,” “The Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic” or “Snot and Splash – The Mystery of Disappearing Holes,” a sales hit at Locarno last year. “Making a film is a long, hard process and the most important thing is to find people who are great, who you enjoy working with and who support and understand your vision,” she observed, also commenting on challenges faced by the Finnish industry.
