MK2 Films\u00a0has come on board to handle world sales on \u201cHouse Arrest<\/a>,\u201d a satirical drama directed by critically acclaimed Russian helmer Aleksey German Jr. (\u201cDovlatov\u201d) that tackles Russia\u2019s judicial system.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Arrest\u201d follows David, a Russian university professor who takes to social media to criticize his city\u2019s administration and the Mayor\u2019s dodgy dealings. But David soon finds himself accused of embezzlement and placed under house arrest. Despite the overbearing surveillance, double-crossing acquaintances, and growing media interest, David remains defiant and will not apologize.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came up with this project many years ago. The drama of a man fighting to keep his dignity,\u201d said German Jr. \u201cThis film is an essential and intimate statement about what inner freedom is and how important it is to stay honest to yourself,\u201d added the politically-engaged helmer.<\/p>\n

German Jr.\u2019s credits include \u201cPaper Soldier,\u201d which won Venice\u2019s best director award, \u201cDovlatov,\u201d which took Berlin\u2019s 2018 Silver Bear award for outstanding artistic contribution and \u201cUnder Electric Clouds,\u201d which took Berlin\u2019s Silver Bear for outstanding artistic contribution in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be working with Aleksey German Jr. on this ironic character study with such strong parallels today,\u201d said Olivier Barbier, head of acquisitions at MK2 Films.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Arrest\u201d stars Merab Nindze (\u201cJupiter\u2019s Moon\u201d), as well as Roza Khayrullina and Anna Mikhalkova, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Aleksandr Pal, Anastasia Melnikova and Alexandra Bortich in the supporting cast.<\/p>\n

Now in post-production, the film is produced by Russia\u2019s Metrafilms, with Artem Vasilyev serving as executive producer. Iouri Stepanov for Canada\u2019s Outrageous Film and Ilja Tsofin for Germany\u2019s LM Media serve as co-producers.<\/p>\n

Co-producers also include Ekaterina Lapshina, Victoria Shamlikashvili, Anouk van Ghemen and Dmitry Saltykovsky. The film was created with the support of \u201cKinoprime\u201d Foundation.<\/p>\n

MK2 Film\u2019s EFM slate also includes Jonas Carpignano\u2019s \u201cA Chiara<\/a>\u201d and Joachim Trier\u2019s \u201cThe World Person in the World<\/a>,\u201d both of which recently wrapped shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
