ARSEN’S NEW PROJECT AWARDED EU FUNDS
In the beginning of October the Creative Europe/MEDIA
program of the EU has announced its decision for Spring 2017
funding proposal for Development of Single Projects. The
project “Crystal Raiders” has received 60.000 Euros, the
largest amount ever awarded to a Croatian single project.
The project has received 92 points and the threshold had
been set to 88,5 points for Animation projects. Out of 359
eligible projects, 77 have been selected for funding.
“Crystal Raiders” is an amazing science-fiction animated
project for children conceived by the late Oscar- winner
Dušan Vukotić about an orphan baby dinosaur Burgy who leaves
his underground home and surfaces to the outside world, only
to be found by two children who desperately try to save him
from greedy circus owner and an unscrupulous animal dealer.
The entire story takes place on a distant planet, recently
colonized by humans. Besides enforcing strong bonds between
children and parents, the film deals with ecological issues
as well. The screenwriters are Aleksandar Žiljak and Dušan
Vukotić, based on the story by Dušan Vukotić, while Arsen is
the co-screenwriter. The film will be directed by Arsen and
is currently produced by Filmosaurus Rex Ltd.
