Dear Friends of Cinereach,
We have some exciting news to share from Cinereach Productions!
The Forgiveness of Blood in Theaters
Directed by: Joshua Marston
In Theaters: Tomorrow, February 24th

From the writer/director of Maria Full of Grace, The Forgiveness of Blood is the engrossing story of a northern Albanian family caught in a blood feud. The film has been lauded by critics, and won the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at last year’s Berlin Film Festival. The director, along with some cast and crew, will be at select NYC and LA screenings this weekend for Q&As. Click here for theaters and showtimes. You can also watch the trailer here. It hits cities across the country in March.
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Directed by: Benh Zeitlin
In Theaters: June 29th

Benh Zeitlin’s tale from the edge of the world, Beasts of the Southern Wild, premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, and was honored with both the Excellence in Cinematography Award and the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. We’re thrilled to have a partner in Fox Searchlight Pictures for the film’s U.S. release, and we’ll be in touch with more details soon.
Upcoming Productions

Production is underway on both of our nonfiction features: Charge by Michael Plunkett and Teenage by Matt Wolf. We’re also well into post-production on The Cold Lands, a narrative feature by Tom Gilroy.

More on all these projects soon!

Best regards,

Philipp Engelhorn
Executive Director
Michael Raisler

Two members of the Cinereach family have been awarded San Francisco Film Society/Kenneth Rainin Foundation Filmmaking Grants, which recognize narrative films that tackle social justices themes from unique, personal perspectives, and take an artistic approach.

Cinereach grantee Circumstance, a fiction feature film by Maryam Keshavarz, received $50,000 towards post-production. Set in Iran, Circumstance is about three childhood friends as they grapple with sexuality, love and friendship during a tumultuous adolescence.

Beasts of the Southern Wild, which Cinereach Productions is producing with New Orleans-based Court 13, also received $50,000. ‘Beasts’ draws inspiration from the dissolving bayou landscape and is driven by collaboration with communities living on the edge of the Louisiana Delta.

Dear Friends of Cinereach,

We have a lot to update you on so we’ll get right to it!
Grants & Awards
It seems like only yesterday we welcomed our latest lineup of grantees to the Cinereach family, and already we’re at it again! The Summer Grants LOI form is live online. Submit by June 1, 2010 to be considered for the full application stage. Our applicant pool is growing by leaps and bounds, and as a result we’re expanding our Grants department staff. Please help spread the word about our search to fill our newly created position, Grants Associate.
The Reach Film Fellowship
Congrats to outgoing Reach Film Fellows Nadia Hallgren, Courtney Hope, Gabriel Long and Anthony Morrison on a successful screening and party celebrating their achievements. Anthony received the Reach Out Award for his film Bye and all four projects were well received. See Cinereach Intern Grainne Curtin’s post recapping Reach Out, with photos and the behind-the-scenes video. Applications for the next RFF are due July 12, 2010.
Productions
Cinereach and Court 13 are in production on Benh Zeitlin’s feature film Beasts of the Southern Wild (working title). Drawing inspiration from the dissolving bayou landscape, the film is driven by collaboration with communities living on the edge of the Louisiana Delta. Zeitlin’s most recent short film, Glory at Sea, has screened around the world to great acclaim and was featured in Wholphin. Beasts of the Southern Wild participated in the Sundance Labs, and received the NHK International Filmmakers Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
Thanks for continuing to follow Cinereach news. We hope to hear from you soon!


All our best,

Philipp Engelhorn

Founder, Executive Director
