Fastnet Films' co-produced documentary on Dutch photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn (Control, The American) ‘Anton Corbijn Inside Out’ has been selected for the special programme at the 62nd Berline International Film Festival.
The documentary is an intimate and revelatory portrait of the artist’s life and work, having collaborated with Irish band U2, Depeche Mode, Lou Reed and Metallica. The documentary was shot over two years, with parts being shot in Dublin last year.
‘Anton Corbijn Inside Out’ was a co-production between LEV Pictures, Savage Film and Fastnet Films based in Dublin. It was directed by Klaartje Quirijns. The score was composed by Irish artist Gavin Friday with the soundtrack also featuring tracks from Arcade Fire, REM, Nirvana and Joy Division. Rob Flanagan (Kisses, Circus Fantasticus) at the Cottage handled the sound post production with the final mix taking place at Windmill Lane Pictures.
Speaking on the selection, Irish producer Morgan Bushe of Fastnet Films said, “We’re delighted with the Berlinale selection as it will undoubtedly give the project the international showcase it deserves. I’d personally like to take this opportunity to thank Alan Maher at the IFB who supported the making of this documentary from an early stage.”
The film was financed by the Irish Film Board, the Dutch Film Fund, the CoBo Fund, the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) and VPRO. HanWay Films are on board to handle world sales with A-Film releasing the film in Benelux and Momentum Pictures releasing in the UK and Ireland.
