Baltic Event Works in Progress showcases the good health of the regional film industry Baltic Event Works in Progress, taking place for the 18th time in 2020, showcases seven promising projects from the Baltics and Finland. Maria Ulfsak, the Project Manager of Works in Progress Baltic Events said that they were happy that, even though the industry events are taking place online, there were still a lot of interesting projects applying to participate in Works in Progress programs. “The projects in the Baltic Event Works in Progress selection this year are very different, from a 3-million budget historical adventure film to smaller, edgier and more experimental projects. This shows the good health of the regional film industry - very different films are in production and post-production, and even though the virus has affected us all, the future looks bright. Hopefully, we can all meet in person in wintry Tallinn next year,” she added. This year, Estonia is represented with two projects at Baltic Event Works in Progress. Sports drama Kalev, from director Ove Musting, tells the story of Estonian national basketball team Kalev and their unpopular decision to take part of the USSR’s championships in the summer of 1990, with the Soviet Union on the verge of collapse. The mystical Melchior The Apothecary, directed by Elmo Nüganen, takes place in medieval Tallinn, where Melchior Wakenstede, a clever and curious apothecary who, in addition to healing the sick, solves murders that shake the town. Baltic Event Works in Progress also includes two projects from Latvia - the drama Lovable by director Stanislavs Tokalovs that unveils the story of Matiss and ten-year-old Stasija, who unexpectedly have lost their partner and mother. Neon Spring, a new project by Matīss Kaža focuses on a 20-year old girl, Laine, who starts to question her sexuality and identity while her family is falling apart. Lithuania is represented by two projects this year. A dramedy, I Am Fine, Thanks from Ernestas Jankauskas tells the story of a woman coming back to her former life after checking herself out of rehabilitation clinic. A drama Feature Film About Life by Dovilė Šarutytė follows a story of a girl, who, after her father’s death: as money is short, she decides to reject the professional funeral services and to organize the funeral herself. In addition to projects from Baltics, Finland is presented with a drama A Girl’s Room by Aino Suni. The story unrolls as 17-year-old aspiring rapper Elina is forced to leave Finland and move to the South of France, where her mother’s boyfriend lives and where she soon meets her new stepsister Sofia. International Works in Progress The sixth International Works in Progress presents seven projects from all around the world. Shahar Rozen from Israel presents fiction feature Ducks, Urban Legend.
