SWEAT by Magnus von Horn has been officially selected for Cannes 2020. It's a great success of the director-producer duo of our graduates and lectures. Mariusz Włodarski is the producer of the film.
Magnus von Horn’s second film SWEAT is part of Cannes’ Official selection 2020 announced today by festival’s head Thierry Fremaux.
Despite the festival not taking place as usual, the event published a list of contenders, which would have been presented on the Croisette in 2020. SWEAT is one of these titles.
SWEAT recounts three days in the life of fitness motivator SylwiaZając, whose presence on social media has made her a celebrity. Although she has hundreds of thousands of followers, is surrounded by loyal employees and admired by acquaintances, she is looking for true intimacy.
Magnus von Horn wrote and directed the movie, which was developed as part of the Torino Film Laband ACE27.
The film introduces Magdalena Koleśnik in her first major role.
SWEAT was produced by Lava Films.
Coproducers include Zentropa Sweden, Film i Vast, ITI Neovision S.A., EC1 Łódź – The City of Culture, DI Factory and Opus Film.
Sophie Erbsfrom Cinema Defacto served as Associate Producer on the film.
The film was financed by Polish Film Institute, Swedish Film Institute and Creative Europe Media programme.
New Europe Film Sales handles world sales for the movie, while Gutek Film will release it in Poland.
"I feel very privileged to be part of the selection. I feel hopeful that we will be able to present the film to audiences soon, despite the temporary COVID-19 situation, and the Cannes label will be of great help in that process." said director Magnus von Horn.
"I am extremely happy and touched that Sweat is among the Official Selection of 2020. I believe that the support from Cannes will help us to reach film lovers around the world to share with them three days of Sylwia." said producer Mariusz Włodarski.
Congratulations Magnus and Mariusz!
