Instead they stay active, speak up, and make their voices heard through their stories and artistry. The filmmakers selected for the grants are just a fraction of those who submitted for consideration, making this an incredibly challenging round. We would like to thank our selection committees of international film industry members from across the world, whose expertise and invaluable perspectives helped us narrow down to these final twelve projects. We would also like to once again thank Susan Weeks, whose generous donation meant we were able to offer two extra grants in this round.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/HBF-portraits-2024.png?image-crop-positioner-ts=1732100860\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/HBF-portraits-2024.png?image-crop-positioner-ts=1732100860 1640w, https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/HBF-portraits-2024-288x162.png?image-crop-positioner-ts=1732100860 288w, https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/HBF-portraits-2024-432x243.png?image-crop-positioner-ts=1732100860 432w, https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/HBF-portraits-2024-832x468.png?image-crop-positioner-ts=1732100860 832w, https:\/\/iffr.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/HBF-portraits-2024-1296x729.png?image-crop-positioner-ts=1732100860 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Portraits of selected filmmakers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brazilian filmmaker Lillah Halla, whose <strong>Levante<\/strong> won the Youth Jury Award at IFFR 2024, is one of a number of filmmakers with an IFFR history who are supported in this round of funding. Her new project <strong>Colh\u00f5es de Ouro<\/strong> is awarded, a dark musical comedy on Krista Bomb, an 85-year-old radical who plans to infiltrate and destroy a hyper-masculine cult to save her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenyan filmmaker Angela Wanjiku Wamai\u2019s epic neo-Western <strong>Enkop (The Soil)<\/strong> sets the story of fifty-five-year-old Lorna Marwa\u2019s fight to reclaim her life on the dusty expanses of Kenya\u2019s volatile ranch land. Wamai\u2019s previous feature <strong>Shimoni<\/strong> had its European premiere at IFFR 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midhun Murali won a Tiger Special Jury Award at IFFR 2024 for the dazzling mixed-media fantasy <strong>Kiss Wagon<\/strong>. His next project, <strong>MTV i.e. Mars to Venus<\/strong>, is awarded, a similarly inventive feature that combines four different genres as part of a protagonist\u2019s cinematic experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palestinian filmmaker Muayad Alayan has screened at IFFR on several occasions, with the HBF-backed <strong>The Reports on Sarah and Saleem<\/strong> (IFFR 2018), and most recently <strong>A House in Jerusalem<\/strong> (IFFR 2023), which was also presented at CineMart. <strong>Conversation with the Sea<\/strong> is a love story about family, following a Palestinian man from Jerusalem who is ordered by an Israeli court to pay a debt owed by his son who died as a teenager 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christopher Murray\u2019s <strong>Piedras gigantes<\/strong> will be amongst the very first Chilean national fiction feature films shot on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), the remote Pacific Ocean island that is officially a territory of Chile. He was previously supported for <strong>Brujer\u00eda<\/strong>, which premiered at Sundance 2023. Made in close collaboration with the communities of the island, <strong>Piedras gigantes<\/strong> tells the story of the archaeologist Katherine Routledge arriving on the island in 1914, who played a conflicted role amidst an indigenous uprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the road movie <strong>How Melissa Blew a Fuse<\/strong>, Melissa steals \u20ac200k from her workplace in Germany, buys a car, puts on music and heads towards her home town in Bosnia. It\u2019s the second feature from Una Gunjak whose <strong>Excursion<\/strong> was HBF-supported and received a Special Mention in Cineasti del Presente at Locarno 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indonesian filmmaker Kamila Andini is supported for <strong>Four Seasons in Java<\/strong>, on a woman\u2019s journey in finding peace after being wrongly convicted of murdering a young man. She was previously supported by the HBF for <strong>The Seen and Unseen<\/strong>, which had its world premiere in the TIFF Wavelengths strand in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The short <strong>Notes of a Crocodile<\/strong> by Chinese filmmaker Daphne Xu had its world premiere in the same strand in 2024, and is now the basis for a feature of the same name. The HBF backs the docufiction hybrid project, which weaves myth, queer desire and development politics against the Chinese development of a canal project in Cambodia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belarus is the setting for a dark sci-fi comedy touching on the immigrant experience in Darya Zhuk\u2019s <strong>Exactly What It Seems<\/strong>. After escaping to the US, immigrants Nadya and Fedor are unwillingly transported back to Belarus by a secretive government teleportation technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Falso positivo<\/strong>, Theo Montoya (<strong>Son of Sodom<\/strong>, 2020; <strong>Anhell69<\/strong>, 2022) approaches the \u2018false positives\u2019 murders in Colombia, where civilians were killed by the military and falsely passed off as enemy combatants, to sculpt a narrative on the falsification of reality. Four narratives touch on anarchic, queer themes and varying styles, from archival documentaries to body horror, film noir and sci-fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgian filmmaker Elene Mikaberidze\u2019s documentary <strong>Blueberry Dreams<\/strong> had its world premiere at CPH:DOX earlier this year. She\u2019s supported for her debut fiction feature, <strong>Le go\u00fbt de la p\u00eache<\/strong>, on a young woman who runs a guesthouse caught in escalating geopolitical tensions. Kas\u0131m \u00d6rdek\u2019s feature debut follows Sevgi who, living with a gang on the margins of Istanbul, is drawn into a dangerous search after her mother\u2019s mysterious disappearance. His previous short <strong>Together, Alone<\/strong> screened at the Sarajevo and Chicago film festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development with Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous recipients of the grants continue to garner awards success at festivals across the world, from Payal Kapadia\u2019s <strong>All We Imagine as Light <\/strong>and <strong>Baby<\/strong><em> <\/em>by Marcelo Caetano<strong> <\/strong>in Cannes, Tato Kotetishvili\u2019s <strong>Holy Electricity <\/strong>in Locarno,<strong> <\/strong>and<em> <\/em><strong>To a Land Unknown<\/strong><em> <\/em>by Mahdi Fleifel in Thessaloniki. In celebration of the Development Support scheme, the HBF together with partner foundation Projeto Paradiso launched the joint publication&nbsp;<em>Development with Impact<\/em>, offering insights
