FNE at Connecting Cottbus 2013: City of Birds

By

    COTTBUS: Russia writer/director Alena Alova pitched the tale of a young Russian émigré who falls in love with an Italian girl and ruins his family’s chance to immigrate, City of Birds, at the 15th edition of Connecting Cottbus.

    The 2.5m EUR film takes place largely in Italy, with producers Colors of the World (a film festival and launch pad for young Russian film) and CineLab (a young equipment rental and postproduction house) production planning on an international cast and crew.

    The director and producer were in Cottbus seeking coproducers from Western Europe and Israel. In-kind financing of 800,000 EUR is already in place, and the producers are in negotiations with two major TV channels.
