Visions du Réel Industry Winner Mehran Tamadon on Film Project ‘The Last Days of the Hospital’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Franco-Iranian director Mehran Tamadon outlines the intention of his upcoming feature documentary, 'The Last Days of the Hospital.'
Set against the backdrop of France’s public health crisis and shortage of personnel, the film will show patients from a psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Paris taking charge of their own ward. I film how they become comfortable in this role,” explains Tamadon in his director’s notes, adding that the doctors and nurses in the ward support the project, both for its therapeutic merits but also to highlight the crisis in France’s public hospitals. TS Productions’ Delphine Morel hopes that picking up the new Eurimages Co-production Development Award at VdR, which comes with a cash prize of €20,000 ($22,000), will help secure further funding from France’s CNC.
