Ігор Кромф написав репортаж із горища кіностудії "Київнаукфільм", де мені останнім часом випало провести чимало щасливих годин. У цьому репортажі я роблю кілька ексклюзивних анонсів про деякі знахідки в архіві кіностудії, які невдовзі будуть оцифровані та стануть доступними для широкого загалу - маловідомий документальний фільм "Параджанов. Відкладена прем'єра" (режисер Юрій Репік, 1995), епічне полотно про "Біле братство" ("Кінець світу переноситься на..." Володимира Хмельницького, 1995) та моє особисте відкриття року - "Моя батьківщина - Крим" Ростислава Плахова-Модестова (1990), антиколоніальний фільм про повернення кримських татар на історичну батьківщину

CASTING CALL for a Ukrainian Actress
basic English level required
feature film BALATON / character OLENA / age range 22 - 30
“BALATON” synopsis
Olena arrives alone to Hungary after the start of the war. She gets allocated in a small village by the Lake Balaton. It is winter, the village feels empty. As she is waiting alone for her musician job to start in Zagreb, she meets a young Hungarian architect. They only spend one complicated day together – their meeting is quite different from what they expected.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
This film is not about a romantic meeting. I am telling the story of two very different human beings
connecting only because of circumstances. I am showing a moment in their lives, a moment where they
open up and that changes the way they feel. It is about a meeting that can help you keep breathing. I
am working from real life experiences and personal dramas of ordinary people.

OLENA CHARACTER description
· An only child from East Ukraine
· She grew up with her father
· She is a young musician, smart, but shy
· She likes Ukrainian alternative/folk music
· She finds it hard to talk, has problems with communication
APPLY WITH SELF TAPE
Instead of reading some given lines, I am looking for something more REAL, raw, and improvised – so
I am giving you a situation. I recommend creating it with your phone. I am looking for videos around
1-2 minutes.
THE SITUATION: Olena has just arrived to Hungary. She is in a small countryside house alone that
they gave her for short stay. She feels very lonely. She receives a kind video message from a
Hungarian guy who she met briefly when she was in vacation in Bulgaria before the war. His name is
MÁRK. He is interested how she feels and if she needs any help.
Olena sends him a VIDEO MESSAGE. She doesn’t feel too dramatic or emotional – more like cold,
distant. She finds it a bit hard to talk, but tries to sound kind.
/Márk is not the main character of the film, just a guy for a self-tape situation!/
YOUR TASK: Some important parts of the message:
- tell Mark how you feel, and that you are safe
- tell him about your journey to Hungary
- you accept his help, you ask if you could stay with him for a while until you find a job
- you want to make sure that this is not a romantic invitation because you don’t want a relationship
- tell him that you can’t use your phone, ask how to buy a Hungarian sim card
- you feel closed-in, it's hard for you to talk but try to sound nice
Olena’s English is not perfect, but OK for communication!
Everything else is up to you, you can talk about whatever you feel right. Be honest and creative!
Good luck, and thank you very much for your time!

WARNING!
I am really looking for a job for money - maybe small, but still for money.
What can I do?
I am a film critic. That's why I know how to write reviews, guides, analytical texts, do interviews with stars (I'm a Golden Globes Voter, so I have access to directors, producers and actors and right now I'm transcribing an interview with Angelina Jolie). I write in Ukrainian and English.
I am a festival programmer. I cooperate with Lithuanian Scanorama, but I want to spread my experience. I can create a Ukrainian film program for your international festival or an international film program for your Ukrainian festival. Can promote a screening or Q@A, present your film anywhere in Europe if arranged.
I am a lecturer. I had repeated experience of working on lectures and workshops on Ukrainian cinema and Ukrainian film criticism. I can give a lecture with a presentation that I will make myself.
I can also be an editor and curator. I will take both a one-time project (work) and close cooperation.

Німецька режисерка Марен Аде готується до зйомки свого четвертого повнометражного фільму — який вийде майже через ціле десятиліття після прем’єри «Тоні Ердманн» у Каннах. Аде була зайнята продюсерськими справами: серед відомих нещодавніх фільмів — «Про сухі трави», «Коліно Ахед», «Корсаж», «Вигнання», «Спенсер» і «Історія моєї дружини». Новий фільм Аде буде називатися Zauberwort (він же Magic Word). Виробництво заплановано на 2026 рік. Про суть проекту ще немає жодної інформації.
Фільм покажуть на "Молодості", це буде українська прем'єра, також планується прокат. Я бачила його на Berlin Human Right Film Festival і була приголомшена. Цим текстом роблю свій посильний вклад в промотування українського кіно в іноземних ЗМІ (дякую Victor Fraga). І хоча продакшен австрійський, режисер - Juri Rechinsky - українець!
Світова прем’єра українського повнометражного фільму Сергія Касторних «Мишоловка» відбудеться на Талліннському кінофестивалі Black Nights. Фільм, знятий під час перерви між періодами військової служби Касторних, розповідає про солдата, який самотньо опинився в бункері на передовій російської війни. Герой за ім'ям Антон вперше опиняється в зоні бойових дій і потрапляє в бліндаж, вхід в який руйнується від прямого попадання снаряда. Він потрапив у підземну пастку і використовує всі доступні засоби та ресурси, щоб знайти вихід зі смертельної пастки. До речі, головою журі на фестивалі в Таллінні буде відомий німецький режисер Кристоф Хоххойслер.
