11. July 2018

LJUBLJANA: Slovenian director Andrej Košak will start shooting his fourth feature film All Against All / Vsi proti vsem in September 2018. This Slovenian/Macedonian coproduction is a political thriller set in an imaginary small town under the Alps.

The corrupt mayor Franta is going to lose the upcoming elections. Following the advice of his mistress, he contacts a local criminal Fleischmann, who kidnaps Franta’s rival Jerovsek and sets up a scandal involving Jerovsek being photographed with young nude delinquents. But when Jerovsek commits suicide and a police investigation stars, everything falls apart.

“All Against All is a cinematic answer to the famous Slovenian drama Kralj na Betajnovi written by Ivan Cankar, a story which is still up to date nowadays”, says director Andrej Košak.

The film stars the well-known Slovenian actor Vlado Novak, joined by Silva Čušin, Iva Kranjc, Aleksandra Balmazović and the awarded Macedonian actors Blagoj Veselinov and Milan Tocinovski.

Zoran Dževerdanović is producing through the Slovenian production company Blade Production in coproduction with Ilija Ciriviri through the Macedonia’s MIND Production and Igralsko društvo Daiga. The Slovenian Film Centre is supporting the project with 430,000 EUR. The project will also receive technical support from Viba Film.

The budget is estimated at 885,000 EUR. "Approximately 88% of the budget is contributed by Blade Production, 10% by MIND Production and 2% by Daiga,” producer Zoran Dževerdanović told FNE.

The seven-weeks shoot will take place in Ljubljana and Kamnik. The premiere is not yet known.

Andrej Košak started his career with Outsider (1996, produced by RTV Slovenija), followed by Headnoise(2002, Novi val) and State of Shock (2012, Vertigo).
