De Rivaz shoots Luftbusiness
Principal photography on Dominique de Rivaz’s new feature Luftbusiness kicked off in Luxembourg a few days ago.
The Swiss filmmaker, who won the Swiss Film Prize for Best Feature in 2004 with My Name is Bach, will work once again with producers Jean-Louis Porchet and Gérard Ruey of CAB Productions (Switzerland), as well as Iris Productions (Luxembourg), German-speaking Swiss broadcaster SF and French/German broadcaster ARTE.
Scripted by de Rivaz and Antoine Jaccoud, the film tells the story of three marginalised characters who auction their most expensive possessions – one his old age, another his childhood and the third his soul – on the Internet.
The lead roles are played by Icelandic Shooting Star 2004 Tomas Lemarquis (Noi Albinoi), young Swiss actors Dominique Jann (Strähl) and Joel Basman (Cannabis, Breakout [+see also:

Luftbusiness is slated for a spring 2008 release.
