‘The Whaler Boy’ Wins Venice Days Award, as ‘Ghosts’ Tops Critics’ Week

Before this year’s Venice Film Festival comes to a close with Saturday’s announcement of the official selection awards, the fest’s autonomous sections got the ball rolling Friday with their own prizes.

Coming out on top in the Venice Days program was Russian director Philipp Yuryev’s debut feature “The Whaler Boy,” an offbeat story of a teenage whale hunter on the Bering Strait, who sets out to meet the webcam model with whom he’s become obsessed.

The film, which is produced by Alexey Uchitel and Kira Saksaganskaya of Rock Films, received the Director’s Award — which carries a cash prize of €20,000 ($23,668) for Yuryev and Paris-based sales agent Loco Films — from a jury headed by Nadav Lapid, the Israeli auteur who won last year’s Berlinale Golden Bear for “Synonyms.” Unusually, the jury’s extended deliberations were live-streamed to the public. In a statement, Lapid praised Yuryev’s film for “[depicting] a world that has not yet been explored with such cinematic precision and such confidence.”

Two other Venice Days selections received special mention from the jury: American director Merawi Gerima’s first feature “Residue,” an experimental, mystery-fueled study of a Black community in Washington D.C., and “Conference,” the latest from rising Russian talent Ivan I. Tverdovskiy (“Jumpman,” “Zoology”), which examines intimate family tensions against the backdrop of national tragedy.

A separate jury, meanwhile, awarded Serbian director Ivan Ikić’s sophomore feature “Oasis” the Europa Cinemas Label award for best European film in the Venice Days lineup. A tender ensemble character study of teenagers with learning disabilities, the film was inclusively cast with non-professional actors and shot on location in the residential facility where they live. Athens-based Heretic Outreach is handling sales.

Over in the independent Venice Critics’ Week section for debut features, a jury of film critics including Variety’s Jay Weissberg handed the €5,000 ($5,917) Grand Prize to Turkish director Azra Deniz Okyay’s “Ghosts,” which intertwines the stories of four residents of a gentrifying Istanbul neighborhood over the course of a day.

The jury’s statement singled out the film for treating “characters as individuals rather than mere stand-ins for assorted social issues, while still painting a troubling portrait that encompasses multiple communities.” Paris-based MPM Premium is the sales agent.

As it turned out, female filmmakers ruled the roost at Critics’ Week: In addition to Okyay’s win, two other women took separately juried prizes.

Ukrainian director Natalya Vorozhbit was presented with the Vernoa Film Club Award for “Bad Roads,” a multi-stranded narrative set against the war in Donbass, while American duo Celine Held and Logan George won Best Technical Contribution for “Topside,” an urgent portrait of a homeless single mother in New York City.

KVIFF 2018: Tverdovskiy's 'Jumpman' is a Compelling Tale of Dignity

"There are those who jump, and those who make others jump." This line from the film is the one line that sums up the entire story and why it's being told, and it's a meaningful statement, one that should resonate with every single person no matter where they're from. Jumpman is a Russian drama about a boy who is born with a rare disease that prevents him from feeling any pain - though everything else functions as usual. It's the latest film made by Russian filmmaker Ivan I. Tverdovskiy (Corrections Class, Zoology) and it's an intimate, indie drama made with an intense focus on the main character, a compelling tale of dignity and integrity and humanity. It's an impressive, captivating film that I really enjoyed, even though it's cynical and depressing, there's hope found in the heart of this young boy. The filmmaking pulls us deep into that story. ›››

Film Review: Zoology

“Zoology” is a film that starts off bleak but ends up becoming enchanting as it move towards its conclusion. Written and directed by Ivan I. Tverdovskiy and starring, Natalya Pavlenkova as the principal character, the story focuses on a middle-aged woman who grows a tail. This may seem like a hardship too far for many but in fact it appears to be both the best and worst thing that has ever…

First Trailer for Russian Drama 'Jumpman' Premiering at Karlovy Vary

"Do you really feel no pain?" This looks like a must see. An official trailer has debuted for an indie film from Russia titled Jumpman, which is the third film from Russian filmmaker Ivan I. Tverdovskiy (Corrections Class and Zoology). Jumpman stars Denis Vlasenko as Dennis, a boy who grew up in an orphanage and has a very rare illness - he is immune to pain. This makes him popular among other boys, who take bets on how long he can endure cruel physical games. One day his mother returns and takes him in, forcing him to become a "jumpman" - someone who jumps in front of cars to blackmail the drivers for money. "Reunited with his mother, Dennis' feels that this new life is a dream come true until one day… he starts feeling pain again." The cast includes Anna Slyu, Danil Steklov, Pavel Chinarev, and Vilma Kutavičiútë. This is premiering at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival this week, it's one of my top priorities to catch during the fest. ›››
