SNOWCHILD – a first feature film filmed on location in Japan to premiere at Moscow`s International Film Festival 2011
Yukiko (Airi Kido), a 16-year old broken-hearted girl, wants to end her life after losing her childhood to a much older Caucasian man (played by German actor Michael Pink) who she refers to as the wolf. She tried to play along with his adultery game but in the end lost her voice.
At Hotel Namonaki she meets other lost souls whose lives are manipulated by the egocentric hotel manager Ishigo (Shinobu Kawamata) who profits from her guests` misery. At the right moment a young boy named Kazuhiro (Naoki Kawano) rescues her. Kazuhiro forces a companionship on her and promises to bring back her voice. But Yukiko only has eyes for the older guest Yamamura (Ayumu Saito). Will Kazuhiro succeed in bringing back her voice and at what cost?
SNOWCHILD is a character-driven ensemble piece set in an idiosyncratic hotel, written, directed and produced by Uta Arning. This film subverts genre by infusing surrealistic elements with comedic effect into the story. Visual effects created by M Films Australia with support of Rija films and an outstanding set design by Asako Ogiwara from Hata Art Tokyo give this film a unique look. Matthew Mendelson created a beautiful imagery and Satoshi Mashida from Unique Brains was casting director and line producer on the film. Ko Mori, known through Hirimaya Bridge and Haunted Highway, was a producer on SNOWCHILD.
Adrian Baumeister, an award winning sound mixer from Berlin, mixed the sound created by Jan Giese, a graduate from Berlin´s well known University of the Arts. The beautiful cliff scenery in SNOWCHILD was filmed in Sydney, Australia.
Young fashion designers and Bands from Berlin supported the project.
SNOWCHILD is financed and produced by SNOWCHILD Filmproduction, Germany.
