Key Information
History
[edit]Emilie Blézat founded Sciapode in 2003 to produce films by "strong and ambitious filmmakers."[2] Her first production, Blush, a 2005 choreographic film directed by Wim Vandekeybus, met with public and critical acclaim.[3] Encouraged by this experience, she produced films such as Michaël R. Roskam's The One Thing To Do (2005), Victoire Terminus, a 2008 documentary directed by Florent de la Tullaye and Renaud Barret (officially selected at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival),[4] and Andrew Kötting's 2009 film, Ivul, which was selected at the Locarno International Film Festivals and at the Busan Film Festival.[5][6] In 2010, two Sciapode productions premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival: Sophie Fiennes' Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow in the official selection,[7][8][9] and David Dusa's Flowers of Evil as part of the ACID selection.[10] Both were subsequently entered in numerous festivals around the world.[11][12][13][14] Sciapode also co-produced Valerianne Poidevin's L'Oiseau Sans Pattes (selected at the Cinéma du Réel Festival, held at the Pompidou Centre, as well as the “Vision Du Réel” Festival in Nyon) and Rain, by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, Olivia Rochette and Gerard-Jan Claes.
Along with film work, Sciapode also produces works of performance art, like Wayn Traub's opera, Le Comeback de Jean-Baptiste,[15] orchestrated by Hervé Niquet and DJ crew Birdy Nam Nam, and David Dusa's and Mike Sens' L'Emeute des Emotions for the Temps d'Images Arte Festival.
The company is named after the sciapods of Greek mythology.[2]
