Ostrov Profile
Founded in 2004 by director Xavier Christiaens and Sandrine Blaise, Ostrov is an association that finances and produces their own films exclusively. Relying on microbudgets and quite free practices, Ostrov proposes to erase borders (between fiction, documentary and experimental films) in order to redefine them on its own terms and against the current of the predominant practices.
[ Documenting the future ]
You must create reality quicker than it creates you
Approach is to take a view on past History, and consider it as a matter forgetting, unachieved, with gaps to build and document the future we are creating now. Developing a powerful personal aesthetic and exploring ways that question the present world (with its past and its possible futures), Ostrov's Films is an emerging structure, which has produced only a few films but very selective ones.
