Anna Marie de la Fuente Rome-based indie distributor Intramovies has snapped up international sales rights to Locarno contender “Nightsiren” (“Svetlonoc”) by Tereza Nvotovà.The Slovakia-Czech Republic production turns on a young woman who returns to her remote mountain home to seek answers about her traumatized childhood.
The deeply superstitious villagers turn on her, accusing her of witchcraft and murder.As Nvotová, who co-wrote the screenplay with Barbara Namerová, explains in her statement, “Nightsiren” “seeks to dispel outdated myths surrounding womanhood, drawing a line between ancient misogynist superstitions and their resurgence in the modern world.”“Even though women are no longer being burned at the stake, they’re still targeted for their sexuality, emotionality and reproductive choices.
