“Feast,” the directorial debut of visual artist, photographer and filmmaker Tim Leyendekker, centers on a case that rocked Holland in the mid 2000s, when three men were accused of drugging others and injecting them with HIV-infected blood.
The film/documentary/essay hybrid unfolds over 84-minutes in seven vignettes, offering the audience different points of view from the victims, perpetrators, police and even, via a microbiologist, the virus itself.
A national buzz about the film, running in International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Tiger competition, is such that the director claims to be block-booked with newspaper, TV and radio interviews in his native Holland.
The IFFR meanwhile has guaranteed “Feast” a second play at its planned physical festival in June, ahead of the film’s local release, regardless of whether it wins in its category.
Woute Jansen’s new sales outfit Square Eyes is handling worldwide sales while the Dutch distributor is Windmill Film.

Walking to Paris
It’s been four years and counting as we await the next feature from Peter Greenaway, Walking to Paris, which the director was discussing prior to the premiere of his last film, 2015’s Eisenstein in Guanajuato. It looks like 2019 may finally be the year we may set eyes upon his take on sculptor Constantin Brancusi, which features a cast comprised of Emun Elliott, Carla Juri, Andrea Scarduzio, Paolo Bernardini, Marcella Mazzarella and Remo Girone. The film will feature the work of both Italian Dp Paolo Carnera and his usual collaborator, Dutch cinematographer Reinier van Brummelen.…...

Once Upon a Time in Mexico: Greenaway’s Homage an Inspired Provocation
Erotically charged and artfully crafted, Eisenstein in Guanajuato is the first of two titles devoted to portions of Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein’s life, and proves Peter Greenaway has lost none of his edge. At the age of 72, British auteur filmmaker maintains his ability to amaze. Ever the provocative experimentalist, he belongs to a rare class of director, one who manages to delight and confound, challenge and dismay even into his later period of film making. There’s a perverse thrill to be had watching the daringness on display in this examination of a Russian legend that bluntly examines his sexual orientation in a way that would never be produced from his native country.
Based out of Netherlands and often focusing on depictions recreating the universe in which iconic works of art originated, Greenaway’s later films...

HeyUGuys recently caught up with Stelio Savante who following his lead role in the first film ever to shoot in Equatorial Guinea Where the Road Runs Out, also has a supporting role in Peter Greenaway’s upcoming film Eisenstein in Guanajuato.
Between Greenaway and making history, we felt privileged to have an opportunity to discuss with Savante his career to date, which apparently all began thanks to some good looking girls. In an interview mixed with seriousness and humour he spoke of discovering cinema in his native South Africa, the difference between cinema in American and South African culture, working with J.J. Abrams, and the rewards of collaboration.

Why a career in acting? Was there that one inspirational moment?
Getting paid to do something that I’m passionate about… how could I refuse that? Performing plays in university… I got the bug, it bite hard, and so a journey was born.
