Projects are by UK-based filmmakers with non-English language scripts.
Mohamed Ahmed’s Mothers, Rich Peppiatt’s Kneecap and Adina Istrate’s Vapours are the first recipients of the Mother Tongues Award, the development initiative backed by UK distributor Curzon, French sales agent Charades and creative agency Intermission Film.
The programme is focused on feature film projects by UK-based scriptwriters in which the dialogue is in a language other than English.
Mothers, a drama set in Sheffield’s Somali community, picked up the top award of £10,000 to develop Ahmed’s script. The Mother Tongues producing team will now work to attach a director to the project.
