Snow White Dies at the End is an ensemble comedy/drama taking place in contemporary Skopje and following three different groups of people, whose lives connect. The first story is a love story, the second story is a buddy story and the third story is a commitment story. The film has a non-linear structure. The story begins in the present, continues with the past and ends with what will happen in the future. It is an absurdist drama with strong elements of comedy. The director described it as a story of “human kindness, dignity, and a zest for life.”
The 111-minute film was shot in the Macedonian and Turkish languages. Producer Darko Popov told FNE that the film “will have additional filming in the next months.”
Darko Popov is producing through Vertigo Visual. He already secured half of the 370,000 EUR budget but is looking for coproducers as 30,000 EUR is still needed. The Macedonian Film Agency supported the project with 200,000 EUR / 12.3 m MKD in 2016.
The production is still in need of music, sound post-production, colour grading and the final mix, and the producers are also looking for distribution. Completion is scheduled for 15 January 2021. The producers have applied for funding in Greece and France.
