She produced and co-produced several features, among them: the documentary “Latifa, A Fighting Heart” directed by Olivier Peyon and Cyril Brody (Rotterdam, 2018), “The Night Eat the World” by Dominique Rocher (Tribeca, 2018), “A Ciambra” by Jonas Carpignano (Italian entry for the Oscar, 2018, awarded with Europa Cinemas Label in Director's Fortnight, 2017) and “The County” by Grimur Hakonarson (premiering @TIFF, 2019). Her latest project was the feature film GAGARINE by Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh (the buzzy title of the Official Selection at Cannes, 2020), a film which she discussed with the residents of Pustnik 2020.
“Even though this year was more of an atypical one, with everybody scattered across the globe, the spirit of Pustnik prevailed. Over Zoom, from Manila to Stockholm, from Budapest to Kent or from Berlin to Paris, we felt now, more than ever, the need to surround ourselves by other writers who share the same
fears and who fight the same good fight. We met fellow filmmakers who are generous with each
other, passionate about exploring the changing nature of cinema and who have a genuine need to tell compelling stories about the world we live in. We are extremely happy we managed to pull this off and we hope the experience was both useful and necessary in a time when emerging writers are unfortunately also struggling writers.” Andreea Bortun & Bryn Chainey, Pustnik Co-founders.
