Eurimages funds next pic by Mungiu

France's Why Not Prods. is teaming with Romania's Mobra Films and Belgium's Les Films du Fleuve, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's Brussels-based shingle, to produce "Provizoriu," the next film by Romanian filmmaker Christian Mungiu. Written by Mungiu, "Provizoriu" is the Romanian convent-set tale of a 23-year-old's love for another femme inmate. Why Not is the lead producer. Mungiu's "4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days" won Cannes' 2007 Palme d'Or, and was released in the U.S. by IFC. "Provizoriu" is one of 18 European co-productions that have drawn down 5.85 million ($7.6 million) in subsidies from the Council of Europe's Eurimages Fund. Also tapped for coin is Abdellatif Kechiche ("The Secret of the Grain"), who is attached to helm "Le Bleu est une couleur chaude." A coming-of-age drama, "Bleu" is set up at France's Wild Bunch and Quat'Sous Films, Kechiche's own label, Belgium's Scope Pics, which opens the door to that country's tax-break coin, and Spain's Vertigo Films, which Wild Bunch co-owns. "Bleu" adapts a graphic novel by France's Julie Maroh about a teen who falls for a blue-haired girl. Further Eurimages subsidy recipients are Jean-Paul Lilienfeld's "Arretez-moi," with Sophie Marceau and Miou-Miou, produced by France's Rezo and Luxembourg's Iris, and "When Day Breaks," from Serbia's Goran Paskaljevic ("Honeymoons"). "Bleu" won Eurimages' biggest 2011 award: $728,000. "Song of the Sea," from Tomm Moore ("The Secret of Kells"), pulled down $715,000, as did Alex and David Pastor's "The Last Days" and "Camiel Borgmann," from Dutch auteur Alex van Warmerdam ("Waiter").
