Film is produced by Jožko Rutar and production company Staragara (www.staragara.si), producer of Cvitkovič's previous films. The production received 536,000 Euros financial support from the Slovenian Film Fund.
Archeo will be made in the style of the Cvitkovič's last short film called This is Earth, my Bother (screened in Venice), which combined visuals with the director's published poetry. Cvitkovič based his new film on archetypes rather than a written script, with Man, Woman and a young boy who don't know each other and slowly develop relationships.
As with Cvitkovič's previous films, it will be produced by Jožko Rutar and the production company Staragara (www.staragara.si), with technical support from the Film studio Viba Film (www.vibafilm.si). Co-producers are Igor Prinčič from Transmedia, Italy (www.kinemax.it), Andras Muhi from Inforg Studio, Hungary, (www.inforgstudio.hu) and Slovenian public broadcaster RTV Slovenia (www.rtvslo.si).
Archeo hasalready received 536.000 Euros from the Slovenian film fund (www.film-sklad.si). The total production budget is estimate at over one million Euros. Film is also supported by Friuli Venezia Giulia Film Commision (www.fvgfilmcommission.com), Motion Picture Public Foundation of Hungary (http://mmka.hu) and Media Programme (http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/media). The film will probably be released in second half of 2010.
