Zilbalodis' work is one of the four projects confirmed for the funding in the framework of CNC's “Advance on earnings 2” programme, targeted specifically for support of the second and the third films of independent filmmakers.
Flow tells the story of an independent cat, which has to look for shelter after his home has been destroyed by a devastating flood. Similarly to the director's previous work Away / Projām (a hypnotic survival odyssey of a lone protagonist, produced by Gints Zilbalodis himself), Flow will also feature Zilbalodis in different creative roles: director, composer, production designer, as well as co-scriptwriter and coproducer.
Flow is produced by Matīss Kaža through Latvia’s Dream Well Studio in coproduction with Lilia Schneider through Germany’s CINÉ-LITTÉ Productions, as well as Ron Dyens through French Sacrebleu Productions.
Sacrebleu Productions has already attached French regional funding of 250,000 EUR from la Région Sud (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur). The project has also received funding of 146,277 EUR from the National Film Centre of Latvia in the spring of 2021.
The premiere of Flow is expected to take place in 2024.
