Premiering one film at Berlin and another at Cannes all in one year would already be quite the feather-in-the-cap for any rising young filmmaker, but “Hellhole” and “Ghost Tropic” directortook it one step further by making the latter project in the period between the two festivals.
Working at breakneck pace, the Belgian director shot the dreamlike “Ghost Tropic,” which follows a working-class woman’s nightlong odyssey across Brussels, over the course of 15 nights in early March, and then rushed to have the final edit ready to premiere in Directors’ Fortnight some two months later. “Within less than a year we went from literally nothing to a film premiering,” Devos marvels.
The film’s producers buttressed their own investments with modest support from local telecom operator Proximus, alongside public broadcast money and private capital scrounged via the federal government’s tax shelter scheme.
