ACE Project Spotlight: EDGE OF NIGHT

EDGE OF NIGHT by Türker Süer will premiere at the 81^st Venice International Film Festival. Producer Viola Fügen (ACE Germany) participated with the project in the ACE 29 Annual Programme.

Sinan, a young lieutenant in the Turkish army, is asked to hand over his brother Kenan to a military court. Burdened by the tragic death of their father, both brothers embark on a journey through a land marked by political unrest. As they confront their beliefs, Sinan’s convictions are put to the ultimate test on the night of the coup. In a country where the State demands absolute loyalty, the brothers must decide if they are ready to face the sacrifices required by their duty and their conscience.

How did the ACE Annual Programme benefit you as a producer, and your ACE project?
I don’t think this film would have been made without ACE. The initial feedback on the project that I received during my wonderful ACE year was very encouraging. The writer-director Türker Süer and I both really benefited from working with Isabelle Fauvel on the script. We actually started financing the project with the draft of the script written after the ACE Content Development Workshop.

What was the most challenging in getting this film from script to the screen?
To close the financing: After a really great start, having the honour of working with Andrea Hanke as commissioning editor at WDR and receiving support from the Film and Medienstiftung NRW, we faced some setbacks. COVID delayed us, and we ran out of solutions—until ARTE came on board, and Eurimages finally saved us by closing the financing.

For my wonderful producing partner Nadir Öperli (ACE Turkey), who executed the shooting in Turkey, I’m sure there were a few more challenges along the way. We couldn’t have made this film without Nadir’s profound producing skills and wonderful, supportive personality.

What’s ahead for you and your company? What are you currently working on?
Michael Weber and I are currently very busy with the production side of Match Factory, which we started more than 10 years ago. My colleague Cécile Tollu-Polonowski produced Alissa Jung’s first feature film PATERNAL LEAVE, which we shot together with Wildside at the beginning of the year in Italy, and we’re now preparing Karim Aïnouz’s next project ROSEBUSH PRUNING in Spain. We’re also looking forward to the premiere of EDGE OF NIGHT in both Venice and Toronto soon.

We just had the premiere of HARVEST by Athina Tsangari in Venice and co-produced THE END by Joshua Oppenheimer (Telluride and Toronto). Altogether, we were involved in seven films premiering at Cannes and the fall festivals this year. I wouldn’t mind if next year is a little less intense.

ACE Project Spotlight: The End

THE END by Joshua Oppenheimer will premiere at the 51^st Telluride Film Festival. Producer Signe Byrge Sørensen (ACE Denmark) participated with the project in the ACE 27 Annual Programme.

A Golden Age musical about one of the last families on earth, starring Tilda Swinton as MOTHER and Michael Shannon as FATHER. When the sudden arrival of a stranger, Moses Ingram as GIRL, threatens the family’s luxurious compound deep underground, George MacKay as SON begins to question their seemingly perfect existence.

How did the ACE Annual Programme benefit you as a producer, and your ACE project?
The ACE Annual Programme was hugely beneficial both to me personally and to THE END. During the workshop, I got to test the first finance plan and my finance strategies. I found key collaborators and I got inspiring input regarding the first presentations of the project. I also found a network, which has become extremely important to me, because this is where I find new collaborators I can learn from, great case stories during the Annual Reunions, and this is where I found a core group of professionals across Europe, who really understand what challenges we face as producers and how films are made from idea to final DCP.

What was the most challenging in getting this film from script to the screen?
My learning curve has been extreme at times. This is my first fiction film, and it is a musical. Quite a challenge and I could not have made it without my amazing, experienced and committed co-producers Viola Fügen from The Match Factory/Mubi (Germany), Conor Barry from Wild Atlantic (Ireland), Flaminio Zadra from Dorje Films (Italy), Tracy O’Riordan from Moonspun Films (UK) and Ann Lundberg from Anagram (Sweden), nor without my financial consultants Sarah Nagel and Isabell Wiegand from In Between Films. Most of them are part of ACE. The most challenging for me has been the time pressure and the economic pressure. I have been co-producing documentaries around the world for more than 20 years, so I am used to complex finance plans with many partners, and also to some pretty wild stuff happening as part of my working day, but the challenge of working with agents, lawyers and banks on a high-level budget, that required a cash flow loan was a whole new experience for me.

What’s ahead for you and your company? What are you currently working on?
We finished the DCP last week. We are still in the middle of preparing the release. Once that is done, I plan to sleep. Luckily, I have a strong production team at Final Cut for Real in Denmark consisting of producers Maria Kristensen, Esther Nissen and Alberte Lyngbo and post producer Francesc Sitges-Sardá plus my company partners Anne Köhncke, Janus Billeskov Jansen and Joshua Oppenheimer. So in parallel with the postproduction of THE END, we have started to develop several new documentaries together with for example veteran documentary directors Camilla Nielsson (PRESIDENT), Simon Lereng Wilmont (A HOUSE MADE OF SPLINTERS) and some documentary talents. And then Joshua Oppenheimer, the director of THE END, and I have started talking about new ideas, but it is still far too early to say anything about what that could lead to.
