Venice (2010, feature film) is one of the most important productions being presented at the market.
The affecting film is set during World War II. A cellar of a house becomes both a place of hiding and a place of cherishing the deepest, most vital human dreams. At first these are dreams of children, full of pure belief in making all things possible by the force of will and mind; but later the older generations of a big family join in the play as it transforms into a ritual and an attempt to overcome the hostile world through the human spirit.
{mosimage}The special, old, family nest-house seems to be a final asylum and brings a promise of safety. This feeling gradually flows over to the successive circles of the family's friends, neighbors and - finally - the total strangers who one day enter the house. How will it withstand a confrontation with the cruelty of war?
Venice was awarded Best Artistic Contribution Prize at the Montreal World Film Festival, August 2010
