Martin Scorsese Masterclass in Cannes

 

 

 

In conversation with Andrei Konchalovsky a free man !

By Bruno Chatelin

I have worked three times over the last decades with Andrei Konchalovsky, a true privilege to know this very talented filmmaker with an incredible film knowledge.

We first met in my ad agency days at JWT on two commercials he shot for my clients: the Gold Mastercard launch film, a parody of North by Northwest shot in Texas, and secondly in Tuscany and Cinecitta for Lux toilet soap which Sophie Marceau was starring.

Later on when he shot "The Inner Circle" for Sony I was in charge of the french office, we also brainstormed on a script I had with Sharon Stone attached which we were trying to improve and finance...Always a pleasure to catch up.

We sat down in  the boutique Schlössle Hotel in the old town of Tallinn after he received his life time award from PÖFF 23 Tallinn Black Night Film Festival

About Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival



Started in 1997, the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival has grown into one of the biggest film festivals in Northern Europe and busiest regional industry platforms, hosting more than 1000 guests and industry delegates and over 160 journalists. The festival screens around 250 features and more than 300 shorts and animations and sees an attendance of 80 000 people annually. In 2017 the festival was covered in 71 languages with a potential global media audience of over 1.1 billion people.

As of 2014 the festival holds the FIAPF accreditation for holding an international competition programme which puts the festival into the so- called A-category of film festivals, alongside other 14 festivals in the world (including Cannes, Berlinale, Venice, Karlovy Vary, San Sebastian, Shanghai, Tokyo etc).  

Black Nights has an umbrella structure with two sub-festivals PÖFF Shorts and youth and children's film festival Just Film taking place concurrently with the main festival,
two off-season festivals - Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival and Tartu Love Film Festival - and a fully-fledged film industry platform Industry@Tallinn, organised jointly with the Baltic Event Co-production market.
