Danish international sales and aggregation outfit LevelK has boarded the thought-provoking drama “Great Yarmouth: Provisional Figures” by award-winning Portuguese director Marco Martins, which worl…
as “a powerful study of intense grief,” Martin’s debut feature, “Alice,” won the Prix Regards Jeune at Cannes in 2005.
Tânia’s struggle unfolds with dim and hazy shots that add a raw and unnerving aesthetic to the film, mirroring the impossible nature of her plot to escape a ruthless cycle after facing the grim reality she’s up against, as a woman who ascended each rung of the ladder by abandoning her moral compass. The film is produced by Filipa Reis for Portugal’s Uma Pedra no Sapato and co-produced by Kamilla Kristiane Hodøl for the U.K.’s Elation Pictures , Yohann Cornu for France’s Damned Films and François D’Artemare for Paris-based Les Films de l’Aprés-Midi .Additional financial support came from Portugal , France , the U.K. as well as Eurimages.
“It’s been five years since I first started researching this project by interviewing more than a 100 Portuguese migrants living and working in Great Yarmouth, and I’ve seen it transform from play to film, traverse a pandemic and Brexit, and come out on the other side to screen at San Sebastian. I’m grateful to be joining forces with the fantastic team at LevelK in that endeavor,” Martins remarked in a statement.
