International documentary sales company Reservoir Docs has acquired Danish doc “Dark Blossom” ahead of its upcoming world premiere and international screenings at CPH:DOX and Hot Docs respectively. Reservoir Docs has secured exclusive worldwide sales rights, with the exception of Denmark.
The feature debut of documentary filmmaker-music video director Frigge Fri, “Dark Blossom” is a visually and musically immersive story of three young Danish Goths who express their strong friendship through a shared love of darkness, macabre make-up and fashion, and social media expression. They channel a shared fascination with death to combat loneliness, inner demons, and the prejudices of small town life. But when one of them falls in love and plans an escape from th

Holgut’s protagonists seem to spin on a rope between the past and the present, between nature and science. What part do human beings play in the process of animal extinction? And most importantly, what impact does the extinction of certain animal species have on the lives of human beings? Liesbeth De Ceulaer tackles these questions without attempting to offer up dogmatic answers rooted in linear and pseudoscientific reasoning.

Holgut
15/04/2021 - In Liesbeth De Ceulaer’s new documentary, the dreams of a child join the obsessional hope of a scientist to one day clone extinct species
The Siberian permafrost is melting. Ancient bones rise up from the ground and wild animals seem to have disappeared. Three Yakutians venture into the vast wilderness on different quests. Villager Roman and city boy Kyym hunt for a rare reindeer while, not so far away, scientist Semyon scourges the permafrost for a viable cell of the mammoth, which he needs to clone the extinct animal. In the midst of an ongoing mass-extinction of fauna and flora, of a Siberian Ivory Rush, and at the dawn of de-extinction, a contemporary myth unfolds. While Roman, Kyym and Semyon close in on their goals, both the frozen earth that they walk on and reality itself melt into another state.
