A Dream by Boštjan Slatenšek expected delivery: May 2017
Privid, 2017, DCP, 1: 2.39, c, 110 min Pristina, Kosovo. Mark works as “an international” in Pristina. One night at the bar he meets three local girls: Besa, her girlfriend Hana, and Shpresa. Mark is attracted to Shpresa’s extreme passion, but the romance is soon shattered to pieces. Her mood swings from passionate love to hate and death threats in a matter of seconds. For Mark this is hard to handle. He believes Shpresa might suffer from the borderline personality disorder. As he tries to confront her she starts to push him away. Hana’s and Besa’s relationship is also in danger, but for a completely different reason – Hana is afraid of the social stigma that love between two girls has in the deeply conservative and patriarchal Kosovo. Director and screenwriter Boštjan Slatenšek is a Slovenian filmmaker with a journalistic background. He is the author of a series of documentary films, while A Dream is his second feature. As a filmmaker he mostly deals with stories based on real and extreme situations, which thus create strong emotions. Slatenšek was a freelance reporter in Kosovo during the war and his articles have regularly been pub-
lished internationally. He has a deep interest and insight into the region and stories coming from this culture. directed by Boštjan Slatenšek written by Boštjan Slatenšek, Aude Le Pape dop Ibrahim Deari sound design Muha Veseli costume design & make-up Leonora Mehmeti ▪ cast Aude Le Pape, Aleksandar Rajaković, May-Linda Kosumovic, Alketa Sylay, Luan Jaha ▪ production FilRouge producer Uroš Goričan co-production AS Film, Da’Art Picture co-funding Slovenian Film Centre Selected filmography (from 2010) ＿A Dream 2017 feature ＿Bridging the Bridge 2015 documentary ＿Tone, Copy That! 2014 documentary ＿Vicious Circle 2012 documentary ＿Generation 71 2011 feature FILROUGE ▪ Uroš Goričan ▪ info@filrouge.si ▪ www.filrouge.si
