We have TWO films selected at this year’s TELLURIDE Film Festival this month. Congratulations to everyone involved in MERKEL, directed by Eva Weber @eva_oddgirlout and ANASTASIA directed by Sarah McCarthy @sarahlikesfilms . Two important and astonishing films following two very strong and powerful women. MERKEL Driven by extensive archive material and incisive interviews, MERKEL tells the astonishing story of how a triple political outsider – a woman, a scientist, and an East German– became Germany’s first female chancellor and the de facto leader of the free world. 📷 Jock Fistick ANASTASIA Anastasia Shevchenko was arrested and detained under house arrest for two years. During her imprisonment, she was separated from her young daughter who died alone. As Anastasia travels across Russia by train, she comes to grips with her loss and realizes that the only way she can continue fighting for freedom is to leave her homeland forever. @mtvdocs @lizziegillett @sonjahenrici @sigriddyekjaer @knrdw @jonopstad @juliezann @screenscots @cineart_nl @curzonfilm @madmanfilms @inmaatfoundation @looks.film @xtr @kathryneverett @BFI #nationallottery @britishfilminstitute @trilogyfilms #UKGlobalScreenFund #RTL @dawnporter
