Fiennes, Zizek are Perverts again
Director Sophie Fiennes (pictured) and philosopher Slavoj Zizek have wrapped the shoot of their feature documentary, The Perverts Guide To Ideology, at Ireland’s Ardmore Studios. This continues the collaboration they began with 2006’s The Pervert’s Guide To Cinema.
The BFI Film Fund, Film4, Channel 4 and the Irish Film Board teamed to finance the film along with with new UK equity company Rooks Nest Entertainment. UK Film Council funded the development. The film is an official UK-Irish co-production, between P Guide Productions and Blinder Films.
James Wilson (Attack the Block), Martin Rosenbaum (The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema), Blinder’s Katie Holly (One Hundred Mornings) and Sophie Fiennes produced.
The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema explored how in movies we face the traumas we cannot confront in reality. The new film looks at what psychoanalysis can tell us about ideology. Fiennes shot Zizek in replica studio sets from films like The Sound of Music, Taxi Driver, The Dark Knight, Triumph of the Will and Titanic, and on location in Salzberg, Austria and in California.
Executive Producers are Shani Hinton, Katherine Butler for Film4, Tabitha Jackson for Channel 4, and Michael Sackler and Julia Godzinskaya for Rooks Nest Entertainment.
