Production: Zanussi starts short shoot

By Katarzyna Grynienko
    Krzysztof Zanussi takes a look back at his past film characters in Revisit, which begins shooting June 17, to premiere at this summer's ERA New Horizons IFF.
    Zanussi will revisit three of his most popular works: Family Life (1970), Camouflage (1976) and Constancy ( 1908 ). The characters and plots from these titles will be introduced by a character from his most recent work, And a Warm Heart (2008). The Polish director invited a star cast of the actors, who appeared in his films previously, including Jan Nowicki, Maja Komorowska, Daniel Olbrychski, Zbigniew Zapasiewicz, Tadeusz Bradecki and Małgorzata Zajączkowska.

    The movie is produced by TOR Film Production (www.tor.com.pl) headed by Zanussi himself. The shoot will last five days, and post-production is planned for two weeks after that. The final budget of the project had not been set. Revist is planned to premiere at ERA New Horizons IFF 2009 (www.enh.pl), which runs July 23-August 2.
