Archipelago Director Joanna Hogg's Third Untitled Feature Starts Production
Principal photography is now underway on Joanna Hogg’s third writing/directing project, following the critically acclaimed and award-winning Unrelated and Archipelago. Known as Hogg’s “London Project”, the as-yet-untitled film will shoot in West London and surrounding areas for six weeks. Presented by BFI, BBC Films and Rooks Nest Entertainment, the film is produced by Gayle Griffiths (My Brother the Devil, Archipelago) for Wild Horses Film Company Limited.
Cast in the lead roles are artists
Viv Albertine and Liam Gillick. A British
singer-songwriter, Albertine is the ex-guitarist of all-female punk
group, The Slits; Gillick is a British conceptual artist and former
Turner Prize nominee. The supporting cast includes previous Hogg
collaborator Tom Hiddleston (Thor, War Horse), who made his acting debut in
Unrelated and went on to star in Archipelago.
Hogg’s debut feature
Unrelated won the FIPRESCI International Critics Prize at the
2007 London Film Festival in addition to the Guardian Best Film Award
and won Hogg the Evening Standard’s Best Newcomer Award. Both
Unrelated and Archipelago, released last year, garnered
outstanding critical acclaim upon their UK releases, with the latter
film resulting in Martin Scorsese heralding Hogg as a “uniquely
gifted filmmaker”.
Hogg comments: “I
continue to be fascinated by the blurred line between the comic and the
horrendous - but depicting this in an ordinary, everyday context which
is closer to home, and therefore
more terrifying.”
The creative team behind the film includes previous collaborators: Director of Photography
Ed Rutherford and Editor Helle le Favre both worked on Archipelago and Production Designer
Stéphane Collonge worked on both previous features.
Artificial Eye is already on board as UK distributor and talks are ongoing with international sales agents.
