DREAMING MURAKAMI

‘PATRIMONIUM’ AND ‘DREAMING MURAKAMI’ SELECTED FOR THE 14TH MAKEDOX FESTIVAL by Maria Kristensen

Two Final Cut for Real productions have been selected for this year’s MakeDox film festival: Patrimonium and Dreaming Murakami.

This year Denmark has been chosen as the “country in focus” for the festival. As MakeDox explain on their Instagram, the Danish focus is meant as a way to “cool down in the hot Skopje evenings”. At Final Cut for Real we are thrilled that two of our movies are being represented there.

Starting today the 14th MakeDox festival is taking place in Skopje, North Macedonia. MakeDox is a platform of creativity and documentary films, and their weeklong festival is showing a broad selection of exactly that.

On Saturday evening Carl Olsson’s 2019 Patrimonium will be shown at the festival. The movie examines time by questioning the borders between history and modern world.

The second of our movies selected, Nitesh Anjaan’s 2017 Dreaming Murakami, will be shown on Monday evening. It explores the world of Japanese author Haruki Murakami through the life and works of translator Mette Holm. Anjaan is going to Skopje to experience the festival himself.

You can read more about The MakeDox Festival on their website. We look forward to following the festival from Denmark.

THREE FILMS SCREENING AT HOT DOCS 2018 by Maria Kristensen

We are proud to announce that we are presenting no less than three films at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto this year: The Distant Barking of Dogs, What Walaa Wants and Dreaming Murakami.

Following the lives of a 10-year old Ukrainian boy caught in a raging conflict, a young girl fighting for her right to train as a policewoman in Palestine, and a 60-year old Danish translator immersing herself in the surreal world of Haruki Murakami, the films speak to the heterogeneity of our output, and in each their own way, offer gripping and poetic stories about personal struggle and perseverance.
