Projects in the works include ‘The Distant Near’ and ‘A Life In Rose’.
Producers Katharina Suckale and Arfi Lamba of Indian-German co-production company Bombay Berlin Film Productions are in Cannes with two queer projects, and have also signed a deal with Mubi for Indian title Trijya (Radius).
The Distant Near, optioned by UK writer James Pout, tells the story of the German Olympian and world-record holding runner, Otto Peltzer, who survived the concentration camps of the 1940s but was subsequently refused dignity of life as he turned to coaching in post-war Germany, and was persecuted for being openly gay by the German Sports Association.
