I had no idea why I was I going to Telluride. Ruzowitzky now comes to New York, where the film plays today at the New York Film Festival and opens in theaters this Friday. Yeah, the film was in pre-selection for the Berlin Competition, but when it was not accepted there, I was quite disappointed. So we went to Rotterdam. But it made very much sense, because it's a good place to start things.
Many journalists go there, just to see new films and all the Asian stuff goes there.
And Berlin has a lot of politics, and strange films are in competition, for whatever reasons. Rotterdam, for a young filmmaker, is definitely a good place. In this case, the film won, and the film was hot, and right away, sold. And now, it's really sold all over the world. And concerning festivals, you can get a lot of festival invitations in Rotterdam, because everybody is there.
