Jessica Lange in film produced by Cyprus-based film company

Cyprus-based production company Fetisoff Illusion – Europe is co-producing a screen adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer prize-winning play Long Day’s Journey Into Night, starring Jessica Lange, Ed Harris, Ben Foster and Colin Morgan.

This will be British theatre and opera director Jonathan Kent’s feature directorial debut. He also directed Jessica Lange in a production of the play on Broadway in 2016, which won her a Tony award.

According to Deadline, double Academy Award and five-time Golden Globe winner Lange will portray the “troubled, emotionally fragile and addiction-plagued Mary Tyrone” while four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris will play her husband James, “a celebrated actor but failed property magnate – and a man with fears and regrets deeply rooted in his impoverished beginnings”.

Fetisoff Illusion-Europe is a production company based in Cyprus. Its founder Gleb Fetisov is known for producing Cannes Jury Prize winning 2017 Loveless as well as his involvement in other film projects such as Jon Favreau film Chef (2014).

Filmed on location in County Wicklow, Ireland, Long Day’s Journey Into Night is financed by Magnoliamae Films, BKStudios, Brouhaha Entertainment and Fetisoff Illusion. It is produced by Gabrielle Tana (Philomena), Bill Kenwright (Cheri) and Gleb Fetisov.

Filming has wrapped on the project, which is now in post-production and expected to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in autumn.

Cyprus looks for a piece of the action with ‘Olivewood’ movie industry

The Telegraph Online © 2021. Telegraph Media Group Ltd. The island is actively wooing international film makers as a sunny and low-cost alternative to LA

The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is shooting for the stars in its latest bid to attract investment, offering “aggressive” incentives to promote a fledgling film industry the locals dub 'Olivewood'. In an effort to woo international movie makers, the government is offering cash rebates of up to 35pc to production companies, with further tax discounts on the table for infrastructure and equipment investment.

And while some European countries offer even greater savings, the Cypriots have another not-so-secret weapon in their arsenal: sunshine.

Lefteris Eleftheriou, chairman of the Cyprus Film Commission, says: “In effect, Cyprus is one big studio with 320 days of sunshine and vastly different natural backdrops to choose from, all within a one or two hours’ drive.

“Also, because our island is on the same latitude as LA, the angle and the quality of light is the same, so you can shoot something in Cyprus at 10am and then shoot another scene at 10am in LA and the shadows cast on the windows and the streets will be the same. Not many countries have this.”

Cyprus’s film ambitions were first revealed in 2018 when invitations were delivered to more than 40 directors across the globe, one of whom was Dimitri Logothetis, the man behind Kickboxer: Vengeance, a remake of the martial arts classic that saw the return of Jean-Claude Van Damme.

“I didn’t want to go to Cyprus,” he admits. “I had just returned to LA from a three-week vacation in Greece, but my friend and fellow producer kept bugging me about it so we went to hear about this cash rebate programme. While the minister of finance was taking questions, I looked at him and said, ‘Well, I have this film and it’s ready to go. Who do I need to talk to?’ Everyone fell quiet. They weren’t expecting any of the producers they’d brought in to be ready to produce.”

The film Logothetis had ready to go was Jiu Jitsu, a $25m action movie starring Nicolas Cage as a martial arts expert battling an alien. It is now the first Hollywood film to be shot entirely in Cyprus for more than four decades and it was released by Paramount Home Entertainment in the US and Canada last month.

“I couldn’t have filmed Jiu Jitsu in America,” Logothetis says. “Everything is a lot more expensive and to film in Cyprus was at least 50pc or 60pc less than it would cost to shoot in the States.” For Logothetis the biggest draw was the cash rebate offered by the Republic of Cyprus.

“As cash rebates go, 35pc across the board, including ‘above the line’ costs, is a very aggressive rebate. Cyprus needs to keep that edge, and it makes economic sense to do so because for every dollar or euro a country spends on a film, they get seven in return. That’s why Ireland is doing so tremendously well. Films boost the economy and production teams inject a lot of cash into economies because we have to pay for hotels, food, car, fuel, buildings and construction amongst a host of other things.”

Although filmed in Cyprus, Jiu Jitsu is set in Myanmar, and with Cage involved in the project, the film garnered much local media interest during the six weeks of filming in summer 2019. However, Cage is not the first A-lister to film on the island.

The first Hollywood film shot in Cyprus, The Beloved starring Raquel Welch, was filmed in the village of Karmi in 1970. It was not a great critical success, though one reviewer did praise the film for the “splendid quality of light for which the island is noted”. Three years later, Peter Sellers filmed the pirate comedy Ghost in the Noonday Sun.

For Logothetis, the experience has been positive enough for him to return to the island, scouting locations for his next project. Though he readily admits to liking Cyprus, he is also a realist; like many independent movie makers before him, shooting outside the US is often a financial necessity. The same model was adopted by the 'spaghetti' western directors of the 1960s, who chiefly filmed in Spain.

In its heyday, Spain became the backdrop of a huge number of classics such as Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy and Sergio Corbucci’s Django. Today many of those iconic sets have been abandoned or turned into western-style theme parks, but Spain remains in the game and is a strong competitor in the European hustle for movie dollars. For Greg Johnson, a producer and lecturer in film studies at Yale University, this is one of the biggest challenges facing Cyprus in getting Olivewood off the ground.

“The Cyprus programme is in some ways competitive with other tax regimes. Spain's advantage is a highly developed film infrastructure and crews. There are also other tried and true competitors for big budget films such as Romania and Ireland, both of which have considerable EU and Hollywood track records as well as state-of-the-art facilities.”

The lack of facilities is an acknowledged weakness in the island’s grand plan, but Logothetis says the landscape will look very different in a few years.

“I needed to bring the team over from Thailand that I used in Kickboxer 1 and 2 to build a number of sets,” says Logothetis. “While we employed 200-plus Cypriots, we still had to bring in 50 or 60 other crew members from other countries, and the fact is, you need a crew. Spain has a crew and an infrastructure and stages, and they had it way back in the 60s. So did Italy. They don’t have that in Cyprus, but what does exist here is an extreme will to make it happen.” Local producer Marios Piperides agrees: “We are missing the infrastructure of places like Malta, but they have been doing this since the 60s. It is going to take some time, but there is progress, year on year, and the more films happening here, the more we can start to support.”

Piperides, who is currently filming a €2.5m French, German and Cypriot co-production on the island called Tel Aviv/Beirut, describes the government’s raft of incentives as “an open door for bigger films to come”. Another production, SOS: Survive or Sacrifice, fronted by William Baldwin, also shot on the island last year.

“Previously you could not survive working as a freelancer or crew member here with only one or two films per year, it was impossible," says Piperides. "But now, if there is steady work with five, six or seven films a year being made, local and international productions, then you can put more people into the system that can support the industry."

Ministers are actively pursuing private investment to hurry the industry’s evolution.

George Campanellas of Invest Cyprus, the national investment promotion agency, says talks are ongoing with a number of film studios, despite the difficulties of the coronavirus pandemic. "They are a clear sign of international interest in Cyprus," he says. "This is a great time for film investors to get on board." While a lack of studio infrastructure might strike most people in the movie business as a handicap, Logothetis remains unfazed. “For independent film makers it’s getting tougher and tougher to make the movies they want to make. I don’t want to make a movie for two or three million dollars; I did that 25 years ago. I’m just not interested in that. I’m at the top of the threshold and my movies deliver.

“Now I’ve made a great action film and built the infrastructure needed for that film within budget, and I’ve already had conversations with Paramount to make Jiu Jitsu 2. “If Olivewood wasn’t a viable alternative to Hollywood, I’d have gone home.”

FERENC GRÓF: "OR FIRING OF A RED STAR ALERT"

06.07. - 03.08.2018.

In 2016/2017, Ferenc Gróf was a participant of an extraordinary residency programme. The recipients of the international open call of Container Artist Residency voyaged on the cargo company ZIM’s container ship on different sea routes. The projects made by the artists working in their container-studio were presented in the group exhibition of Para Site, in Hong Kong. As its summer exhibition, acb Attachment shows, for the first time in Europe, Gróf’s works inspired by the journey through Haifa, Istanbul, Novorossiysk and Odessa.

The exhibited graphic interventions deal with the semiotics of maritime shipping and shed light on its systems of reference, some aspects of which constitute the base of this global industry. The large format piece entitled Harmonized projection is a montage of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and the Dymaxion map invented by Buckminster Fuller. The full text of the encyclopaedia of tariff nomenclature that forms the base of international commerce fills the world map projected on an icosahedron. Fuller’s projection represents the continents as an island almost contiguous, while the tariff articles listed in the twenty-one categories of the Harmonized system embrace almost all the items that can be subject to trade, from livestock products to works of art.

The photos taken on board of the ZIM Shekou appear in the series entitled Flags of convenience. They show parallels in composition and motifs with the flags of countries which have an open registry for commercial vessels. More than half of all existing vessels circulate under these “flags of convenience”, including those of Antigua, the Bahamas, Cyprus, Malta and the Marshall Islands, referred to by the exhibited flags. Moreover, not only does Gróf evoke the collapse of national borders and closed identities, he also references the iconic work of Soviet painter Geliy Korzhev by throwing the flags on the ground.

From the video shot during this sea route, Gróf made still sequences on which he painted signs used in maritime shipping. These signs compose the visual synopsis of a never-to-be-realized film, and references the film script of Moholy-Nagy’s Dynamic of the Metropolis. The exhibition features the first piece of the series (Container film, seq.01) showing the photos taken from the aft of the container ship in the Aegean Sea, with the pictogram that gave the title of the show.

LED SERVICES MARKET ANALYSIS(2019-2027)

LEDs are more efficient, brighter, more cost-effective, and more lasting than conventional incandescent bulbs. These lights are cost-effective that delivers around 50,000 hours of illumination with a very small amount of energy consumption. As a result of these advantages, LEDs are adopted in various residential, business, commercial, industrial, and public settings.

LEDs have a longer lifespan, nearly about 100,000 hours, as compared to incandescent bulb with 1000 hours and CFL with 8000 to 10,000 hours lifespan. LEDs can also reduce the labor cost and achieve lower maintenance work due to a longer operational life. Furthermore, LED lighting fixture is far more efficient than conventional incandescent bulbs. It has an efficiency of 80% to 90% as compared to conventional light bulbs with 20% efficiency. LED lights to use around 50% less energy than traditional incandescent and halogen options that are primarily employed for residential and commercial applications.

Moreover, in September 2016, Panasonic announced that it is likely to play a key role in setting up the smart residential project ‘Future Living Berlin’ in the Adlersh, a district of Germany’s capital.

Increasing demand for LED lighting architectural applications can present lucrative business opportunities

The demand for LED lighting solutions has increased significantly in the recent past. This is owing to features such as RGB (red, green, blue) controllability, flexibility, and speed of color control. Previously, conventional lighting required high maintenance cost while RGB code colors are controlled by color film filters and also flexibility and speed of color control are limited. However, LED has overcome these drawbacks and can adapt to new applications. Thousands of LEDs are linked together and still can be controlled individually. This is a significant advantage over conventional lighting solutions.

On the day of her 11th birthday, Linda’s mother gave her a collection of Akira Kurosawa’s movies and this represented a great turning point in her life: She started getting passionate about Japanese cinema and this escalated quickly into a discovery for Asian movies,  also nurtured by the Far East Film Festival. Linda thinks that cinema has the power to give minorities and marginalised people the chance to have their voices heard, and to have their stories shared. That is why she feels extremely excited about the Tibetan new wave of cinema made by Tibetans in the PRC, including Pema Tseden, and by Tibetans in the diaspora. Linda is eager to see more Tibetan films at international film festivals and she hopes to be able to share their stories after the FEFF Campus.
