Two projects from Franco-Moroccan producer Saïd Hamich won big at the’s Atlas Workshop this year, with the upcoming Kamal Lazraq-directed feature “Les Meutes” nabbing a development prize and the recently wrapped “Zanka Contact” winning an $11,000 post-production grant. “Zanka Contact” director Ismaël El Iraki was on-hand to present 10 minutes of footage, which screened before the gathered sales agents and festival programmers for the first time.
“It’s about how to process trauma, and how to be a survivor, while staying an energetic, musical experience,” Hamich explains. “The lead characters are pursued by the traumas they’ve experienced, and the film uses this framework of a love story to ask how one can survive such an intense experience. Via love and music, they help each other overcome.”A Belgian-Franco-Moroccan co-production, “Zanka Contact” is slated to be ready for April 2020.
Set in the Paris suburbs, “The Slumlord” follows an ex-con whose good intentions draw him into a world of moral compromise. “It’s about someone who initially wants to help but finds himself progressively becoming a slumlord,” says Hamich. “It’s a film about what’s right and wrong, and what it means to help others.”
“We’re looking to craft auteur cinema with mainstream appeal,” Hamich adds. “Our objective is to go towards the public, while offering them a more open and expansive kind of cinema.”
