EXCLUSIVE: Paris-based sales company Coproduction Office has boarded filmmaker and contemporary artist Julian Rosefeldt’s Euphoria, a film that captures an art installation about capitalistic greed and features the voice of Cate Blanchett.
The company is launching sales at EFM on the title, which is a feature version of Berlin-based artist Rosefeldt’s 24-channel film installation set against the backdrop of a dystopian New York populated by surreal characters and animals.
Featuring the thoughts and musings of more than 100 economists, business magnates, writers and celebrities on human nature at its best and worst, it stars US actor Giancarlo Esposito and is partly voiced by Blanchett, who reteams with Rosefeldt after their previous collaboration, Manifesto, premiered at Sundance in 2017.
Euphoria was produced by Julian Rosefeldt Filmproduktion and commissioned and co-produced by Park Avenue Armory New York, Ruhrtriennale, Holland Festival and Rising Melbourne, in association with Weltkulturerbe Völklinger Hütte and with support from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
The film recently played at Goteborg Film Festival.
Coproduction Office founder Philippe Bober said: “Euphoria sits at the intersection of art and cinema, and exemplifies Julian’s singular ability to move between those two worlds with ambition and precision.”
