Wasilewski with a winner of the European Film Award
Tomasz Wasilewski is only a few steps away from starting shooting United States of Love. The chapter called Floating Skyscrapers in his film life is drawing to an end, only to make room for a new one. According to the interview given at the Polish Radio It will be a story about four women, who struggle to find themselves in the new reality after the fall of Communism. Although it is much more an emotional reality, than the political or social one. We are going to start shooting in February 2015. I’m already waiting for that to happen, as our team is going to be joined by Oleg Mutu, a magnificent cinematographer from Romania, who was the cinematographer in 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days, which won Palme d’Or.
Yes! Mutu is a true ace up the sleeve. He was awarded the European Film Award for his work in 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days. He was also responsible for cinematography in the Georgian In Bloom, which was presented in the ON AIR section during Tofifest 2013. He was awarded for cinematography in that film, during the Ostend Film Festival. He is also a two-time winner of the Romanian Gopos Awards and a special award at the Indianapolis International Film Festival – all of them for his cinematographic work.
We still can’t crack a little mystery, though. The new film by Wasilewski will take us to the time after the fall of the People’s Republic of Poland, to a town with 80,000 souls, and the main heroines will be four women. One could come up with a question, whether Wasilewski intends to portray Inowrocław, in which he was raised. Undoubtedly, that would be cool. Let us just remind you that the Polish Film Institute has decided to co-fund the production of the film with 2.5 million PLN.
In January this year, the script for the film was presented at the 43rd edition of the IFF Rotterdam, as part of the prestigious CineMart section that helps develop film production.
