"The first, smaller stage version had a great response from audiences at home and abroad, so Marek Ťapák decided to shoot a film version," the producer Marta Stancikova told FNE.
Tanec medzi črepinami/ Dancing on Broken Glass, a 100% Slovak production, was shot in different parts of Slovakia for a total of 28 days spanning various seasons over the course of four years. "The shooting period was heavily dependent on fundraising resources." said Stancikova, adding, "Consequently it created a new extensive stage version with a professional team, SĽUK (www.sluk.sk), which is having a great success."
Ťapák wrote the
script and also plays the main character. Peter
Bencsik is the DOP.
The 79 minute film is produced by Marta Stancikova for M.O.M.ent production (www.momentproduction.sk), in
coproduction with Slovak
TV (www.rtvs.sk). The project is supported by
distributor Film Europe (www.filmeurope.eu)
and its founder Ivan Hronec, and also by the agency Brandy, Michal Brejk, and
the Slovak Tourist Board, SACR (www.sacr.sk).
The total budget was 750, 000 Euro. "We used grants from the Ministry of
Culture, from private sources, from private sources of the producer
and especially from the co-production partner, Radio and Television of
Slovakia", says Stancikova. The Slovak premiere will be 21 June at Art Film
Festival.
