She saw her feature debut Park break out at major A fests such as TIFF, San Sebastián and Rotterdam, Sofia Exarchou would get a helping hand for her sophomore project workshopping at the Cannes Cinefondation’s L’Atelier. Animal would have gone into production in October, and tells the story of a group of entertainers who work at an all-inclusive island resort unfolds amid games, dance shows and nightly encounters that take place quietly behind the scenes. Produced by Homemade Films’ Maria Drandaki and Maria Kontogianni. We can’t wait.
Gist: A group of animateurs performs every night on the stage of Hotel Mirage, on the coast of a Greek island. As summer intensifies, the fiesta becomes fiercer, more daring. The nights turn violent, and the pop trance of flamboyance gives way to the rough void of yet another drunken extravaganza. A wild summer story is revealed in the darkness. But when the spotlights are on again, their show must go on.
