WORLD PREMIERE OF
MANCEVSKI'S "SHADOWS" IN TORONTO
Third feature film of filmmaker Milco Mancevski "Shadows" had its world
premiere within the special programme at the Toronto Film Festival on
Sunday.
The film's shooting began in June last year at locations throughout
Macedonia, while the editing process was completed in New York-based
Goldcrest Production's studios.
The movie tells an urban story that takes place in modern Skopje and
introduces young Macedonian actors Borce Necev and Vesna Stanojevska. The
cast also includes Sabina Ajrula - Tozija, Ratka Radmanovic, Dime Iliev, Ana
Kostovska etc.
"Shadows" is a story that can be told in only one sentence - sometimes the
dead speak louder than the living. It is a contemporary film i.e. the way
we, as human beings, treat out community, our predecessors, the unborn and
our moral obligations", Mancevski said.
Almost half of the film's 4,5 million-budget was provided by the Macedonian
Ministry of Culture, whereas other co-producers include Spain, Germany,
Bulgaria and Italy. The rights for global distribution of "Shadows," backed
by the European Co-production Fund EURIMAGES, are owned by "Bavaria Film."
In February 2007 the film was presented at the Berlin Film Festival with the
so-called industrial trailer intended for the media and distributors.
Milco Mancevski won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival in
1994 with his debut feature "Before The Rain". The Oscar-nominated film has
won over 30 prestigious awards since. His second film feature "Dust" was the
first and only Macedonian film that opened the Venice Film Festival.
Mancevski was awarded in June with the title Honorary Ambassador of Culture
by the Macedonian Government for his contribution in affirming Macedonian
culture in the world. |

the Electoral Code.

The changes envisage increase of number of MPs by 13 according to the
principle of guaranteed seats for smaller ethnic communities and the
diaspora.
Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski called Sunday on SDSM and DUI to support the
changes in the Electoral Code, to withdraw the 4,000 amendments and to show
respect towards the Macedonian diaspora and smaller ethnic communities in
Macedonia. |
