Dear Participants, We are very pleased to welcome you to the first South Tyrolean co-production meeting INCONTRI #1. This event is also the first international industry event hosted by the Business Location Südtirol – Alto Adige (BLS), which in 2011 was given the task of administering the new South Tyrolean Film Fund. But at the same time, this event is the newest piece of the puzzle of a great and long tradition that has developed around film here in the region. This tradition began early on and is closely connected to the South Tyrolean Luis Trenker. It has been carried on in the work of the Film Association South Tyrol (FAS), the commitment of the Bozen Documentary Film School ZeLIG, and of course in the phenomenon that is the Bozen Film Days, which are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. In the 25 years of its existence, this festival has become an integral part of the local film industry. For this reason, it was a given that our INCONTRI were planned to coincide with the Bozen Film Days, an event which attracts an illustrious professional audience year for year. The potential of South Tyrol as a film location has been tapped, but is by no means depleted. The possibilities are great, not only because of the gorgeous landscape, but also due to the stable weather conditions, the bilinguality of the population, and the advantageous geographical location between two different cultural areas – aspects which make South Tyrol predestined to take on a connecting and bridging role in the film industry. This idea of connecting and building bridges was the impetus for this meeting, which intends to bring the film markets in Italy, Germany and Austria closer together. The fact that South Tyrol now also has its own film fund is proof of how important the film industry is to us. With the help of this film fund, we now have the outstanding possibility to not only financially support interesting projects, but also to offer our know-how and active assistance. We would be thrilled for you to discover South Tyrol as a shooting location for your productions and wish you an inspiring stay here in our region. Thomas Widmann Provincial Counsellor

Hansi Felder President of the Administrative Board BLS

Welcome to the first BLS co-production meeting INCONTRI #1 with the motto “3 countries, 2 languages, 1 summit”. We are very pleased that so many top-class guests accepted our invitation. Business Location Südtirol – Alto Adige (BLS) is the location agency for South Tyrol. Our tasks include the promotion of South Tyrol as a film location and the support of film production companies by way of a professional all-around service offering. Since the beginning of this year, BLS also administers the new South Tyrolean Film Fund. The embedding of film within the BLS guarantees the best conditions for a successful cooperation: excellent relations to decision makers in the area and to all potential partners of the film industry from the various sectors within the industry. An important goal of our work results from South Tyrol’s strategic location, nestled between northern and southern Europe, and the bilinguality of the population. From this bridging position, it is our aim to support creative networking beyond the state and language boundaries and to encourage increased cooperation with and between the film production centers in the north and the south, cooperations which, in times of dwindling budgets, are becoming ever more important. As a result, the film fund places particular importance on co-productions between the German and Italian language markets. The INCONTRI are the first active step in this direction, with the intention of becoming a regular event during the Bozen Film Days. Whoever is interested in entering into a cooperation needs to find the right partners and collect information about these potential new partners, know how their markets work – and all that at just the right time, namely during the development phase of a project. The program of our meeting is based on this knowledge. Producers and funders from three countries will come together here to gather up-to-date information about production and financing conditions, exchange ideas and experiences, and develop new perspectives for future cooperations. Beyond that, case studies on current film and television coproductions, pitchings for theatrical, television and documentary film projects, and one-toone meetings will be offered in a relaxed atmosphere. The BLS INCONTRI are meant to offer a comprehensive lineup of information and to support an exchange of information. The best proof of the success of our meeting would be the development of co-productions which we could then support in their further development or production. On this note, we would like to wish you all relaxed, informative and fruitful days here in South Tyrol. Ulrich Stofner Director BLS

Company profile & filmography

Cattleya was originally founded by Riccardo Tozzi in 1997, while he was Head of Production at European TV giant, Mediaset. The following year the company produced two notably successful films: Cristina Comencini’s local comedy Matrimoni and Franco Zeffirelli’s Tea with Mussolini , the latter a worldwide success, distributed by Medusa Film in Italy, MGM in the U.S. and Universal throughout the rest of the world. In 1999 two new partners joined the company: Giovanni Stabilini – former Executive Vice President of Mediaset – and Marco Chimenz – Executive Vice President of Medusa Film. The three partners initiated the expansion of the company’s domestic and international film production slate and began television production activities. This plan was boosted in late 2000 as the publishing and media group De Agostini and the financial group of SanPaolo IMI Private Equity joined Cattleya as minority partners. Capitalizing on the partners’ varied and complementary backgrounds in addition to their close relationships with many of the most significant international co-producers, distributors and financiers, Cattleya has earned its status as Italy’s leading independent producer. It has also cemented its profile as the only Italian production company to offer a more industrial than boutique approach to its core business. To this end Cattleya ensures the efficiency and workmanship of its staff while guaranteeing a creative work environment in constant development. Over the last two years the company has created strong ties with a numerous group of talent boasting elevated artistic and commercial potential. Cattleya’s goal is to achieve and maintain an annual level of production of six to eight new film and television projects featuring the company’s unique blend of attention to quality and broad public appeal. The company, therefore, has recently consolidated and reinforced its television production department, which is now under the management of Maurizio Tini, who, with his depth of experience as an independent television producer, shall enrich Cattleya’s profile in this sector. In addition to affirming its role as a strategic partner to the principal Italian distributors and networks – namely Medusa Film, Rai Cinema and Mediaset – and as a further and fundamental step towards achieving its goals, Cattleya is also particularly focused on productions with international appeal. 20

Company profile & filmography

The Company Cinemaundici s.r.l. was established in 1983 to promote, in an organic way, the development of film and television projects and their implementation. Cinemaundici is the last name, in order of time, other former corporate reality and is to indicate the total number of films by Ermanno Olmi, as a director until 1994. In 1998 Luigi Musini and Roberto Cicutto, joined Cinemaundici, offering an important contribution to the artistic and dimensional development of the company, also thanks to their relevant experience in the field and to their strong relationships with leading co-producers and distributors. The attention paid to quality by Cinemaundici in the following years is demonstrated by the national and international appreciation of its production. The most important project realized in 2009 is certainly “La Bellezza del Somaro”. This movie, produced with the contribution of the Italian Ministry of “Cultural Heritage and Activities”, co-produced with Alien Produzioni Srl and distributed in Italy by Warner Bros. Pictures, has been written by Margaret Mazzantini and directed and played by Sergio Castellitto. It is a choral movie, sometimes hilarious, that faces a nasty topic as the generational fight with coloured characters and calm atmospheres following one another. Thanks to an exceptional cast and an extraordinary direction, the movie helped Cinemaundici to conjugate the quality of production with the depth of the theme, not to mention the commercial success, with a box office income of € 3.5 million. In 2010 Cinemaundici has finished the filming of “Il villaggio di cartone”, directed by Ermanno Olmi. The movie, not only emphasizes the popular problem of racial integration, but, coming back to a theme the author cares much about, shows how different religions, when free of the heaviness and rigidity of institutions, can meet and find a way to cooperate.

Company profile & filmography In 1992 Ettore Bernabei, former CEO of RAI, and a group of Italian entrepreneurs started Lux Vide with the clear objective to produce high-quality television programs, characterized by strong family and cultural values, to promote a positive message, avoid offensive and violent content, suitable for the widest audiences. To date, Lux Vide has produced over 400 hours of high-quality TV programming for prime-time television, orienting its production choices towards the international market and involving high-profile partners in Europe and in the United States. The company immediately achieved world renown for its “The Bible” series, consisting of 21 primetime nights, one of the largest TV series ever produced, sold in over 140 countries and coproduced with all major public and commercial broadcasters in the US and Europe. Over 24,000,000 viewers in the United States alone watched “Jesus” one of the miniseries of the BIBLE collection. JESUS was nominated for Best Mini-series at the Emmy Awards, while “Joseph” with Ben Kingsley won a Primetime Emmy for Best Mini-series and a Cable Ace for the Best Soundtrack for a TV program. Starting in the year 2000, LUXVIDE greenlit the “IMPERIUM” collection: 6 miniseries about the most significant figures and events of Imperial Rome, shot on location in Tunisia, where the company invested in a permanent “Roman” set. Simultaneously LUX VIDE also greenlit The XX Century collection - primetime miniseries about the most important personalities and events of the XX century: the first one, “Pope John”, broadcast by Rai Uno in April 2002, reached a record high TV rating (52%). “Mother Teresa”, the third in the collection, gained first position in the most viewed TV programs in Italy in the fall of 2003. Other projects of the series include “Soraya”, co-produced with France 2 and the German network ZDF (2003) and, in coproduction with France 2, “Callas Onassis”. In 2005 “John Paul II”, starring Jon Voight (nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Actor), was a huge success. The miniseries was co-produced with RAI UNO, the CBS network and the Polish public network TVP. In 2007, “War and Peace” (4x100’) , based on Russian author Lev Tolstoy’s classic, and directed by Robert Dornhelm, involved broadcasters from seven countries in the co-production (Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia, Italy) with 40,000,000 viewers across Europe. One of the partners, the Russian Canal Rossia network is the largest and most influential Russian broadcasterthey had never co-produced a TV series internationally before. More recently, LUX VIDE joined with Lifetime Networks in the US, France 2 and RAI UNO to co-produce COCO CHANEL directed by Christian Duguay. Coco Chanel was one of the most viewed programs for Lifetime, France 2 and RAI UNO. Later this spring, PINOCCHIO will be aired across Europe.

The script we’re developing is an elaborated psycho-thriller contaminated by family-drama conventions. The protagonist lives a series of mysterious events which she interprets considering the most horrendous explanations. synopsis

Nicole is a loving mother and devoted wife but she has a weakness: alcohol. Though she has been haunted by this addiction for years, she somehow managed to preserve her marriage. All of a sudden something unexplainable seems to menace her family. Nicole’s 8 year old daughter Lucy is a lovely girl but she starts to behave oddly. Strange events convince Nicole that Lucy’s attitude might have a supernatural origin. Nicole finds herself alone in facing Lucy’s troubles, as her husband Roman is apparently not concerned about their girl’s hardships. Nicole notices some marks on Lucy’s body and she stats blaming her husband for both Lucy’s behavior and her wounds. Her suspects seem to turn into true evidence when Roman confines her in their bedroom. Nicole manages to escape, just to figure out the truth: Lucy had committed suicide the previous year. Nicole dealing with her little girl was just the last desperate attempt to keep Lucy alive in her head.

synopsis

“You and I” is a novel of little more than a hundred pages, which tells the difficult life of a fourteen-year old from a wealthy family. So as to be introverted at times bad, not arousing great sympathy in the reader, Lorenzo pretends to be equal to its peers because it is easier to do so rather than seeing the unhappy mother and having to go to the psychologist. And in this life pretending Lorenzo invents a ski that will pass, instead of the “friends” (existing, but not unreal as friends), in the basement of his palace. For a week, hidden by all, he will finally avoid disputes, most of all with his parents worried for his yen for solitude and his inadequacy to teenage life. All goes well until the shelter of Lorenzo presents Olivia, his father’s first daughter who will help him to become an adult. Fausto Brizzi and Marco Martani have co-written five of Filmaur’s “Christmas movies” between 2002 and 2007, netting over 150.000 million euro at the box office. Offside has produced a number of feature films and documentaries over the years, while Wildre has gained a solid reputation on the Italian market for tv series for Fox, Fox Crime, La7 and Raitre.

LOGLINE Bella, famous television star and owner of an indebted clinic for cosmetic surgery, has a car accident. In collusion with her husband Bob, she pretends to be disfigured in order to collect the insurance money. Living this lie brings her the admiration of the media and the public, new friendships and a new love. But when she reveals the truth she will lose everything.

synopsis “Belle Vie” is a glamorous, fashionable clinic for cosmetic surgery lying in a valley in the north Italian Alps. It is run by Bob, a forty-year-old surgeon who is addicted to luxury and, in spite of his success, has accumulated countless debts and mortgages. His partner and accomplice is Bella, a beautiful television star in her late thirties. She hosts an enormously successful television show. One day Bella has a serious car accident caused by Mario, a young and handsome laborer who works for the clinic. Bella loses control of her car, loses consciousness and smashes against a tree. Mario pulls her out of the wreckage and seeks help. She is taken to the clinic and is convinced she is completely disfigured. Bob takes advantage of the situation by claiming damages from the insurance company for a large sum of money that would solve all his financial problems. When Bella secretly removes the bandages from her face she discovers that her beauty is intact. Her husband convinces her to go along with the fraud he has devised. Forced to keep her face bandaged, Bella finds herself living with the other patients at the clinic, where she makes new friends and is courted by Mario, who feels guilty for having caused her accident. The coming transformation of Bella’s features makes headlines everywhere, the clinic is stormed by the press. In order to escape the enormous, hysterical assault of the media, Bella accepts the invitation of her new friends to go on a short trip with them to Mario’s little hideaway up on the mountains. At this same time, scientists have predicted that an asteroid might fall onto the Earth. A snowstorm blocks the little group inside the mountain hut for several days and it is here that Bella discovers, thanks to the others, a new sense to her life, the real meaning of sincerity and honest sentiments. She and Mario become lovers and she finally reveals to them that she is not disfigured at all. But her honesty turns her new friends against her, they feel cheated by her. Even Mario distances himself and Bob is furious because his wife has sabotaged his possibility of saving himself and the clinic. Alone and abandoned by everyone, Bella flees the now deserted clinic. She gets into her car and while driving away a fragment of the asteroid that had supposedly bypassed the Earth suddenly lands on her windshield. She is the victim of another accident and this time she really is disfigured. Her new misfortune, however, brings everyone close to her again. Bob solves his financial problems, Mario loves her once more. And Bella resigns herself to getting a new face soon. 39

LOGLINE

The twentieth century of Vincenzo Rabito, an illiterate Sicilian.

synopsis

The memoires of a humble Sicilian worker TERRA MATTA was written at the end of the nineteen seventies by Vincenzo Rabito in an ‘invented’ Italian. Even though illiterate, Vincenzo had a great narrative talent which has given us an extraordinary story of the last century. Born in 1899 Vincenzo crossed all of the main events of the century with its wars, its ideologies, the victories and the defeats, the enormous social and economical transformations. Always striving to survive he left the country and lived the dream of African colonization, he went to work in Germany under the allied bombs, he witnessed the arrival of the American troops in Sicily and finally in the sixties he managed to reach a relative welfare with his small family. His story is an individual story, one man against all odds, but also the story of many, all of those who never managed to express themselves in a whole life time. The film will follow his life with a great attention to the faces of the people (young kids living in the country side today, elders talking in the Sicilian piazzas, young and older women in their every day life) and the locations where Vincenzo was born and grew up. Archive images will play a very big role in the film. They will be coming from various different sources and years, from the public image archives and from the private, family heritage of the Sicilians.

LOGLINE

The story of three young men going on an expedition across Greenland starts like a fun adventure and ends in a struggle between life and death.

synopsis

In the early 1980s, three young men from South Tyrol came up with an adventurous plan: they wanted to cross Greenland at its broadest point, using a route which appeared impossible. They intended to be heroes, to prove themselves stronger than nature itself. The weather, problems with equipment, mistaken calculations and arguments within the group transformed the venture into a struggle between life and death. This dramatic story, written by life itself and set in an incredible landscape calls for the big screen. We will shoot an adventure movie, full of personal drama, based on this true story. The author Christoph Mayr came across this true story some years ago. His first intention after getting us on board, was to meet those three guys, who were courageous and crazy enough to set out for such an adventure. What is it, that makes a man take such a risk? Patiently and respectfully Christoph Mayr gained the trust of the three men, and convinced them, to do interviews in front of the camera with him.

TWO SEAT ROCKET is a weird but very romantic fairy tale. It is another type of lovestory which is told with a lot of fiction and fantasy.

synopsis

Manuel is in love with his best friend Mia. She is the girl with whom he can be himself, with her he is having the most fun. Sounds easy, but he doesn’t want to disturb the friendship so he decides to keep it for himself. Head over heels Mia falls in love with another guy, a good-looking pilot. That is when Manuel is trying to win her back, but she is not interested anymore. When he thinks it is too late the self-help group of his friend is helping him out. Together they decide to fulfill Mia’s childhood dream. They are breaking into the Technical Museum to steel a rocket, so that Mia and Manuel can fly into space. The young South Tyrolian director Hans Hofer who is having a big affinity to Roberto Benigni, is telling the story in a fresh and unconventional way. The story is not a classical Austrian comedy but is set in a more general humor.

synopsis

Reinold Minach, Leo Degaspari, Michael „Much“ Gratt – three mountaineers from South Tyrol cross Greenland at its widest point in the summer of 1983. With only minimal food provisions and no radio equipment. They are travelling on foot. 1400 kilometers. Each of them harnessed to their sleds. It’s an experiment – mainly a psychological one as it turns out. Only a few hours after the helicopter drops them off in a bay east of the island, the arguments begin. There will be no reconciliation for the rest of their journey. The dispute explodes into a hatred only possible on the tabula rasa of such a location, into hatred per se. After incredible exertions, they reach their destination. Today, at least one of the men believes that hatred was paramount to their survival.

Also in 2008, the 120-minute Action Adventure, “The Charlemagne Code”, became the most successful event movie for broadcaster RTL. This movie attracted 4.16 million viewers and reached a market share of 21.6% in the target age group of 14-49. The film was nominated for the German TV Awards in the categories that includes “Best TV Movie/Mini Series”, “Best Actor in a Leading Role”, “Best Music” and “Best Visual Effects”. The sequel, “The Spear of Destiny”, which aired April 1st, 2010 by RTL, reached a market share of 20.8% in the same target group and again, became the overwhelming primetime winner. FFF Bayern and Filmfoundation NRW funded this €5.3 million Dreamtool production. In June 2010, Dreamtool produced the 90-minute RTL Action Comedy “Kung Fu Mom – Agent with Kids” in which Dreamtool took a unique path to create the cast. In co-operation with Munich caster Daniela Tolkien, Dreamtool started an overall webcasting. Filmfoundation NRW, MEDIA and FFF Bayern, have all funded the backdoor pilot with a budget of €4 million. From August until mid October 2010, Raiser and Zackor produced the extensive RTL disaster movie “Bermuda Triangle North Sea”. In the spring of 2011, Dreamtool will start the production of its third Action Adventure “The Hunt for the Amber Room” for private broadcaster RTL.

Trying out to find out who killed his godchild Fausto, the old smuggler Cesare has to make a decision between the life of other people and his own existence.

synopsis

lntroverted widower Cesare, called “the German” by local villagers due to his childhood spent in Bavaria, finds the corpse of his Godchild, Fausto, in a secluded valley in South Tyrol. Over many years, Fausto and Cesare had helped African refuges over the border from ltaly to Germany, but from the moment Fausto started smuggling drugs, Cesare ceased all contact. Nevertheless, Cesare decides to cooperate with investigators and sets out to find Fausto’s assassin, but soon realises he too, is threatened. Meanwhile, Sergio, a farmer’s son, discovers that Fausto had not completed his last ‘smugglers job’ before he was murdered. A group of refugees are still hiding in a deserted mountain hut, waiting to be escorted over the border. Sergio goes to Cesare for help – not only to complete Fausto’s last job, but also to escape the boredom of village life. However, crossing the mountain border brings them into unexpected difficulties. Based on the novel by Davide Longo, ‘The Stone Eater’ tells a dark atmospheric tale full of secrets whose answers linger long beyond the end of the story.

LOGLINE

Based on the bestselling book “Big and Little Secrets of the Art World” by Danièle Grant and Catherine Lamour (Editions Fayard February 2010 – 8 reprints)

synopsis

The art world has reached summits of immoderation. Even if it is creative, if it is funny, if it is festive, it has often a provocative side. Art has become today’s El Dorado, full of modern “art diggers,” just like the gold diggers in the early days of the gold rush. For many, art has become a new way to get rich quick. Together, the three of us – two journalists and a filmmaker – spent three years inside this closed universe, in order to penetrate its secrets. How it became the incestuous fruit of art and speculation? In 20 years, money has grabbed all the power, relegating esthetes and professionals to a secondary role, and putting financiers at the center of a genuine “Stock exchange of art”. It’s a phenomenon never seen before in the history of artistic creation. Despite its irrational side, the art world lives by one stunning fact: the total sum that changes hands on the market, by those shopping for a steal, is estimated at 50 billion euros. Who pulls the strings of this murky system, the last domain which escapes rules and usual laws of business? Far from being forbidden, the insider trading is even recommended there. In a pertinent and impertinent way, under the shape of a lived adventure, the film is going to tell how the new society of the art, that of the hyper-billionaires, is destroying the former.

LOGLINE

ZOE (14), instigated by her best friend JULI (14), accuses her innocent father of sexual abuse. What starts out as a result of pubescent confusion soon turns into a legal nightmare for all parties involved, during which dark secrets about Julie’s own and real abusive history come to light. synopsis

ZOE HAUSER (14) lives in a small town along with her father VALENTIN (44), a music journalist. He tries hard to compensate for the absence of Zoe’s mother, who they’ve recently lost in a car accident. Zoe, a typical teenager begins to rebel. She seeks comfort with her best friend JULI KIEFER (14). Soon the bond between the girls intensifies after a fight in the Hauser household. Zoe storms out and seeks refuge at Juli’s. Juli uses Zoe’s initial rage and confusion to convince her to accuse Valentin not only of domestic violence but also sexual abuse. A case is filed with the authorities and the legal process taking its interminable course, which soon overwhelms everybody. Valentin running the danger of loosing his job over his daughter’s accusation and not being able to talk to or see his daughter, is driven to his wit’s end. Zoe, slowly becoming aware of what she has done, has to realize that the consequences of her action are far greater than imagined and not at all what she intended. Too late, the investigation is underway and everybody is convinced of Valentin’s guilt, especially Juli’s parents, who make sure Valentin stays away from his daughter. Things take an even worse and darker turn when Juli pretends to be Zoe at the forensic gynecologist’s office, where they find evidence of repeated sexual abuse. However when Zoe learns about the test results, she knows there are different motivations behind Juli’s actions.
