EXCLUSIVE: mk2 Films has boarded international sales rights to Cannes Competition entry Sound of Falling, the anticipated sophomore feature from German filmmaker Mascha Schilinski.
We told you back in February that this German-language film was in the running for a Cannes Competition slot and the buzz has been strong. We hear that Anatomy Of A Fall outfit mk2 put down a significant MG to secure the movie.
The synopsis reads: “Over the course of a century, as four girls from different time periods experience their youth on a German farm, their lives become intertwined until time seems to dissolve.” Above is a first-look image.
“We were simply blown away when we saw Sound of Falling. Mascha Schilinski’s vision is so bold and visceral, this signals the arrival of an exceptional new voice in cinema,” said Fionnuala Jamison of MK2 films.
Co-written by Schilinski and Louise Peter, the film is produced by Studio Zentral (Maren Schmitt, Lucas Schmidt, and Lasse Scharpen) with ZDF/Das Kleine Fernsehspiel (Burkhard Althoff and Melvina Kotios) and with support from Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM), Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM), and Deutscher Filmförderfonds (DFFF).
The film, which was once known as The Doctor Says I’ll Be Alright, But I’m Feelin’ Blue — a title Cannes chief Thierry Frémaux said he was a fan of — features Luise Heyer, Lena Urzendowsky, Susanne Wuest and Lea Drinder among cast. The filmmaker made her debut in 2017 with Dark Blue Girl.
