Project Shadows of the Mediterranean has so far received support for the development of the project from three important institutions: Film Center Serbia, SEE Cinema Network and The MEDIA Sub-programme of Creative Europe.
This film deals with a universal theme that goes beyond the boundaries of the mother culture. One part of the dialogue is written in English, which opens up possibilities for cooperation with a foreign cast. The plan is to film in Greece (the islands of Santorini and Folegandros) and in Vojvodina. All this strengthens the co-production potential of this project and opens the possibility of cooperation with foreign producers.
The theme and artistic approach of the Shadows of the Mediterranean can contribute to adding another conceptual layer to domestic film production. Although the spirit of the present moment is visible (refugees from the Middle East, consumerism tourism, Greek funeral crisis, identity problem of locality in the contemporary world), film ’s conceptual orientation represents an additional flow compared to the prevailing contemporary social psychological and aesthetic constants of Serbian cinematography. In that sense, Shadows of the Mediterranean can represent an interesting presentation of Serbian film and culture.
