German distributor Alamode Film makes first foray into production with ‘Holy Spider's' One Two Films
The feature, by New-York-based Israeli filmmaker Ido Fluk, centres on Vera Brandes who staged jazz musician Keith Jarrett’s legendary Köln Concert in 1975 at the tender age of 17.
Since then, she has subsequently run her own record label and become an award-winning music producer as well as one of the world’s leading authorities on music medicine research.
Speaking exclusively to Screen Daily at Holy Spider’s German premiere at Filmfest Hamburg, One Two Films’ Sol Bondy said that his company has already enjoyed “a very productive working relationship” with Alamode on the German release films such as Grímur Hákonarson’s The County and Vadim Perelman’s Persian Lessons.
The collaboration will continue next February with Ali Abbasi’s Holy Spider opening on between 80 and 100 prints in Germany. Read More...
