Loco Films, the Paris-based world sales and production company, has unveiled the trailer for Yulia Trofimova’s feature debut “The Land of Sasha” which is premiering today at the Berlinale, in the Generation 14plus strand.
“The Land of Sasha” tells the story of an indecisive 18-year-old struggling to pursue his desire to become a painter as his mother urges him to choose a safer career path. The sudden appearance of the boy’s estranged father complicates things further. But when Sasha has an unexpected encounter with an unusual girl called Zhenia, he realizes he has no choice but to finally grow up.
“The Land of Sasha” was produced by Katerina Mikhaylova and Konstantin Fam for Moscow-based Vega Film. The young director said she has always been inspired by Paul Thomas Anderson and Noah Baumbach, and watched “Francis Ha” many times while writing the script.

"Since I last saw you in Poland, have re-edited my film "Grand Street" with an editor (Krzysztof Szpetmanski) who I met at Gotham In Progress. Amazing editor, who really cut to the film's emotional core. We're almost done and are currently scanning at Alvernia Studios, outside Krakow. Who knew it would become a Us-Poland Co-Production but I'm delighted! Owe big debts of gratitude to Ula Śniegowska and Adeline Monzier, who talked me into going to Gotham -- needless to say, I was a skeptic at first
Meanwhile, my lead actress, Charlotte Riley, just got a starring role in the new Tom Cruise (Doug Liman, director) film, "All You Need Is Kill." She's also marrying superstar, Tom Hardy, which has landed her in the limelight, certainly in London. She's an amazing actress and ecstatic that she's finally being "discovered" for her talent.. Hopefully, it will put some wind in our sails//sales as we begin our next part of the journey... Lex Sidon"
