Do you ever go back to a fond memory and realise it's been teen years since that thing? Unbelievable when that happens, right? Thankfully, though, we can say that the ten years since we've been involved in the production of Maska (2009) have been pretty exciting, as well. Maska (2009) is one of our many beloved Indian productions, directed by B. Gopal and produced by Sumanth Art Productions. We took over line production for their shots created in Austria. You'll know there's always a sweet music video that showcases our involvement. Of course we wouldn't dream of keeping that one from you. Check out the Maska's stars Sheela Kaur and Ram Pothineni dancing it out to Chakri's compositions in th
Sometimes you just want to get away and leave it all behind and other times you have no other choice; but to leave. As promised, I could finally see the film “Lillian” at this years 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival and can now give a full report on the feature length and documentary film by Andreas Horvath, that was chosen by Cannes film festival and premiered in the selection “Director’s Fortnight”. “Lillian” is based on the true story, of a young Russian immigrant who’s visa and other documentation expiries, while in the United States. In her last attempt to find a job, she turns to the hard-core porn industry but even they will not hire her, without proper documentation, due to the strict
During my production work for a music video, I needed to acquire a permit to shoot in a forest. Vienna is a very green metropole and therefore, there are many forests in and around the city. It was easy enough to get in touch with the authorities, yet even after receiving a permit, I needed to get in touch with the forest managers. This was an essential step since the forest manager and the ministry contradicted each other in regards to, where we could shoot. After finally getting in touch with the forest manager, I received a map of the fields that were accessible to a film team. It narrowed down our options significantly and if we had known ahead of time we would have chosen a different fo
Copyright: Cannes Media Center This year two Austrian directors, Jessica Hausner and Andreas Horvath, are invited to the Cannes Film Festival. The films “Little Joe” and “Lillian” have cast a light on Austrian productions and creativity. It’s a proud day for Austrian creatives, as last year Michael Haneke’s film was presented at Cannes and again this year, Austrian film makers got invited to the most important film festival in the world. © Ulrich Seidl Filmproduktion Today, I would like to talk about the film “Lillian”, which is part of the "Director's Fortnight" selection. The feature length road-movie by Andreas Horvath unearths the story of a Russian immigrant traveling through the United
We like to make movies and sometimes we like to get artistic as well. We are currently working on a short historical film and of course this is a challenging endeavour! BUT makingmovieshappen is our motto! We are aware, that costume and props will be a major centrepiece of the film. Even though Vienna offers a wide range of historical buildings, archways and bridges we still got to find old clocks, large candle sticks and other historical pieces to make the film come alive. In Vienna, there is a large factory building full of historical artefacts as far as the eye can see. "Props & co" was initiated in 2005. The collection, mostly from the 19th and 20th century, was assembled by many differe
