The German-Finnish-Bulgarian co-production won the Audience Award at DocPoint Helsinki and is set to be screened at Hot Docs Toronto and the Tribeca Film Festival this month. The festival runs from April 25 to May 3. The film about a Bulgarian computer engineer searching for a formula to create irresistible seductive power for four desperate digital geeks searching for analogue love will open this year’s festival in Nyon, Switzerland tomorrow (April 24). Tonislav Hristov’s Love & Engineering is to open the 20th edition of the Visions du Réel documentary film festival. In the case of the Wcf Europe project, for example, the fund will extend its remit to support not only German, but also European producers wanting to work with producers from the Wcf.
According to the EC, the aim of this funding strand is to “increase the European dimension of the funds and their access for companies from all countries participating in the Media sub-programme”. Funding ranging between €70,000 and €300,000 ($95,000 to $407,000) have been allocated to Turins’s Tfl Distribution, the Sarajevo City of Film Fund, Rotterdam’s Hbf+Europe, the Berlinale’s World Cinema Fund Europe (Wcf Europe), and Idfa’s Bertha Fund Europe.
A total of €1.3m ($1.8m) has been made available to support five international co-production funds backing European producers for the production and circulation of international film projects annually. Co-production funds run by the Berlin and Rotterdam film festivals and a new day-and-date initiative are among new projects by supported by the European Commission (EC).
