Postcards From the Zoo: from the TorinoFilmLab to the Berlinale 2012
The TorinoFilmLab supported it by giving it a Production Award in 2009, and saw clearly. Now Edwin's Postcards From the Zoo, produced by Indonesia, Germany, Hong Kong and China, has been selected among the films in competition at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival (February 9-19).
The film, which was developed within the FrameWork programme of Turin's laboratory, screened at the TFL Meeting Event of 2009 and winner of a prize worth €180 thousand, is Edwin's second feature film following Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly from 2008, as well as being the first Indonesian film ever selected in competition by one of the three main European film festivals (Berlin, Cannes, Venice). It will be screened at the Berlinale in world premiere.
Three years since its establishment, the TorinoFilmLab, a laboratory dedicated to developing and supporting emerging talents from all over the world, has become a reference point on the international independent film scene. Successful films supported by the Lab include: Paz Fabrega's Agua fría de mar (Costa Rica/France), winner of the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival 2010; Michelangelo Frammartino's Le quattro volte [+see also:
