“The Class, Life After” wins Best Series at Cinema Tous Ecrans
Congratulations to Estonian TV (ERR) which won the Reflet d’Or de la Meilleure Série at the Cinéma Tous Écrans international film festival for its hard-hitting series The Class: Life After. This festival in Geneva has become a unique exchange platform between television, cinema and multimedia activities (more info www.cinema-tous-ecrans.ch). Skilfully written by Margit Keerdo, the two first episodes of the series screened by the jury were brilliantly directed by Ilmar Raag and Gerda Kulli-Kordemets (ERR) and produced by Gerda Kulli-Kordemets in partnership with Eurovision Fiction, the series plunges us into the lives of the survivors of a shooting spree by two pupils in an Estonian school and reveals what lies behind the desperate gesture of the two young killers. A fine analysis of the relations between people faced with a presumably unforeseeable murder, The Class: Life After also offers insight into tormented adolescence. The series is a follow-up to Ilmar Raag’s feature film The Class which was an enormous success in Estonia and received many awards at film festivals in 2007. The jury for the International Series, Collections & Long Dramas was particularly impressed by the series and wanted to reward it, along with more than 10 others, “for its structure and its extremely ambitious subject matter, together with the incredibly realistic script and acting.” ___ For further information on Eurovision Fiction coproductions please contact Eurovision TV provides networking within all genres of television production.
