2012 Rotterdam’s CineMart Loaded in Talent with Ostlund, Reichardt, Antoniak and Tsangari

New film projects by the likes of Aktan Arym Kubat (The Light Thief), Athina Rachel Tsangari (ATTENBERG), Taika Waititi (Eagle vs Shark), Kelly Reichardt (Meek’s Cutoff), Úrszula Antoniak (Code Blue and Nothing Personal), Quentin Dupieux (Rubber and the Sundance selected Wrong), Florin Serban (If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle), Ruben Östlund (pictured above) and Aditya Assarat (Wonderful Town) are among the 36 projects participating in Rotterdam’s 29th co-production market CineMart (where a whopping 850 potential co-financiers add coin to future projects).

Among the filmmakers we are keeping a closer eye on, we see that Athina Rachel Tsangari’s breakout Venice-winning ATTENBERG helped her secure producing help for her next feature, “Duncharon,” – Haos Films will be joined by Faliro House Productions, Maharaja Films and one of our favorite outfitters in The Match Factory. Another female auteur in The Netherlands’ Úrszula Antoniak is working on Nude Area with Topkapi Films and Pandora Film producing. We especially look forward to Ruben Östlund’s next picture titled “Turist,” (his Cannes-selected “Play” was one of our favorites of 2011 and was also a project that was aided by the market). Plattform Produktion, Essential Filmproduktion, and one of our preferred Euro labels Coproduction Office are producing. And finally, U.S. indie filmmaker Kelly Reichardt already has thesps Paul Dano and Peter Sarsgaard attached to Night Moves – the eco-terroism pic is being supported by the Anish Savjani’s excellent filmscience prod co. Here’s the complete list of participants.
