Locarno’s Match Me! Projects Feature Steven Bauer, Alba Flores, Alfredo Castro, ‘Flow’ Co-Writer
Locarno’s Match Me! showcases projects from 36 producers worldwide, highlighting the audience ambitions of a new generation of filmmakers.
Trained as an actress but making her impact as a producer-director-screenwriter behind “Beyond the Mist,” (“Después de la Niebla,” a “sensory cinema,” she says, that “connects with the deepest aspects of being through the senses and nature, as David, battling the pain of the death of his grandmother, travels to the depth of a forest and his memories.” Production design will use various states of water to symbolize the main characters, she adds. The company behind 2013’s Estonian film industry milestone “Tangerines,” an Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee, Allfilm is represented at Locarno by hyphenate Chajkouskaya, a producer on “Pure Art” and director of “Mono,” about a 36-year-old woman, trying to understand what happened to her as a 14-year old girl when she felt live unbearable and lost half of her hearing. Having co-produced Laurynas Bareisa’s “Drowning Dry,” which plays in Locarno main competition, Trickster is also now in post on Kaža’s next film as a director, “I Love You, Lex Fridman.” It is based on a bizarre but arresting set-up: Distinguished Latvian actress Iveta Pole becomes so infatuated with Fridman that she travels to America to propose to the podcaster.
