PRODUCTION: Four Suns in Postproduction

By FNE Staff

    PRAGUE: Czech director and screenwriter Bohdan Slama is in the final stages of postproduction with the drama Four Suns, which is expected to be completed in early 2012 for a Czech release on 8 March 2012. The film has been selected to screen in competition at the Sundance Film Festival in late January.

    The 90-minute film is produced by Pavel Strnad of Negativ (www.negativ.cz) along with coproducer HBO. The central character, Fogi, is played by the relatively unknown (internationally) actor Jaroslav Plesl. Fogi, an unwed father who has stayed mired in adolescent behavior, lives with his working class girlfriend Anna, played by Czech star Ana Geislerova.

    Slama achieved international acclaim with his debut film Wild Bees (2001) as well as his 2005 film Something Like Happiness (main prize at San Sebastian IFF) and his last film, The Country Teacher.
