The new year starts with good news for INDI FILM: Habib Rhapsody, one of our feature films in development, received production funding from MFG Film Funding Baden-Württemberg.
Habib Rhapsody takes place around Wilhelm’s square in Stuttgart. A multiethnic district and cultural melting pot. It narrates five episodes of recent, fading and past love stories and portrays the fragility of love: to keep it alive, the right decisions must be taken at the right time. But sometimes relationships fail without intention, when situations and memories from the past prevent us from doing the appropriate now.

Today, our creative documentary “Among Friends” received production funding through the German-French agreement (“Minitraité”). “Among Friends” follows five opposing protagonists on the Brussels political stage involved in the creation of a piece of EU legislation, all the way to the showdown in the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. A creative and suspenseful documentary which tangibly brings to light the Kafkaesque landscape of Europe’s architecture of power.

On Monday, November 14th, 2011 at 8:30 pm the premiere of Alarm at Main Station will take place in the presence of the directors Wiltrud Baier und Sigrun Köhler at Metropol Kino in Stuttgart. After the screening we invite all present guests to an opulent reception with sparkling wine and music in the foyer of the cinema. Anyone, who would like to get in the mood for the film can check out the trailer and stills as well as press comments on the film’s page www.alarm-am-hauptbahnhof.de.

We are happy to announce that the new INDI FILM production “Land in Sight” is now subsidized not only by the Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg, but also received positive news from the FFA who will co-fund the production of the film.
