Estonian writer-director Martti Helde who made his mark on the global festival stage with his multi-awarded debut “In the Crosswind” and sophomore “Scandinavian Silence” (a Europa Cinema Label winner at Karlovy Vary 2019) is prepping perhaps his most ambitious project to date: the historical drama “Silverwhite” (“Hõbevalg”).
The project, which marks Helde’s third collaboration with producer Elina Litvinova of Tallinn-based Three Brothers, will be pitched at New Nordic Films’ Nordic Co-Production Market in Haugesund, Aug. 20.
Famed for his experimental style combining formalist approaches with traditional narrative, Helde’s new feature will again dwell with the notion of time, although it will be “broader” than his earlier works, he said.
