EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY CHRISTOS V. KONSTANTAKOPOULOS (THE LOBSTER, KNOCK AT THE CABIN)
EDITED BY YORGOS MAVROPSARIDIS (POOR THINGS, DOGTOOTH)
NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 18, 2024 - Yellow Veil Pictures announces world sales today ahead of the Tribeca Film Festival world premiere of Yannis Veslemes’ sophomore feature and surrealistic science-fiction drama, SHE LOVED BLOSSOMS MORE. Written by Veslemes and Dimitris Emmanouilidis, the film will be positioned in the ‘Escape From Tribeca’ section of the festival, a genre specific sidebar of stand out titles with auteur-forward storytelling. Veslemes first earned acclaim with his 2014 breakout NORWAY, which debuted at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The film stars Panos Papadopoulos, Julio Giorgos Katsis, Aris Balis, Sandra Abuelghanam Sarafanova, Alexia Kaltsiki & Dominique Pinon (Delicatessen, Alien 4) and was shot by cinematographer Christos Karamanis (Monday, Suntan) and edited by Yorgos Mavropsaridis (Poor Things, Dogtooth).
The film is produced by Fenia Cossovitsa, alongside executive producers Christos V. Konstantakopoulos (The Lobster, Attenberg, Before Midnight), Ant Timpson (Greasy Strangler, Come to Daddy), Andreas Zoupanos Kritikos (Before Midnight) with co-producer Alexis Perrin (Vesper, Revenge). The film is supported by the Greek Film Centre, ERT (Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation) and EKOME (National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication)
In SHE LOVED BLOSSOMS MORE, three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.
Director, Yannis Veslemes said, “SHE LOVED BLOSSOMS MORE is a family drama in science fiction disguise. A ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”
Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures added, “SHE LOVED BLOSSOMS MORE is the first film we've onboarded at script stage, and it's been quite amazing to see it come alive. We couldn't be more proud of Yannis' vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
