The Macedonian project tops up the co-pro slate of Film i Väst, led in Cannes by ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘The Girl With the Needle.’
The biopic, in which Rapace will play the legendary religious figure Mother Teresa, will mark the English-language debut of esteemed auteur Mitevska, credited for the 2019 Berlin entry “God Exists, Her Name is Petrunya”. Mother Teresa’ s inspiring persona, not as a religious icon but as an empowering female figure, is what sparked Mitevska’s wish to make this feature. We might get an answer by 2026, but we will never give up and will stick to our long-term strategy,” he said.In Cannes, Film i Väst is holding seminars about ‘overproduction,’ sustainability and the challenge of private equity in European cinema.
