"Making of Räuberinnen" - video interviews (part1)

Räuberinnen / Robber Girls / Filles Brigandes
"Making of" - 8 little video interviews!

From the last swiss shooting days, 2008-05-07 in Zürich, Villa Pathumba:
www.makingofeuropa.net - Räuberinnen Interviews

interview-site

Pity, not a word about Mathis/Frida in all those interviews, he's only seen some seconds in the background :-( ("Backstage"+"Nils")
But the good news is, it sounds like the film will come out on DVD! :-)

The videos are german, but there are "translations" on the site. Alas, some parts of it are freely invented, I'm afraid the (native italien?) translator had some problems to fully understand what is said... So I say Thanx for the interesting interviews, but as for the translation decided to give it a shot myself, starting from scratch without comparing with the site again, so here's now the maybe bumpy but much more literal Sanna-translation (native german, and hoping they wont kill me for putting so much here) ;-)


--- PART-1 ---
(all english translated by Sanna)


Samir (producer DschointVentschr):
"....the television, as one of the most important partners, then the Ministry of Culture, plus the city of Zürich here, with its Film Foundation. The Film Foundation said from the beginning: NYET. "Such un obscene, perverse project we do not want to subsidize." But then, due to our successes in the last years, with "Fräulein" and "Snow White", we had a lot of "reference money", and that money has now flown into that movie. So, indirectly, the Zürich Film Foundation has also funded the movie..."

Tunje Berns (producer):
"Last year I took part in the EAVE Producers Training Program. There, just in the first week, I first met the Luxembourgers, und by chance also this producer, who's taking part now. He got the book from me, and meant right away: "I want to join this!" (....)"

Samir (producer):
"The important thing was to see, that actually the DVD-Distribution were the first to join. It was quite obvious that they realized the potential in this theme. And I must say, it's right that way, since by now with several movies that we released, we actually made disproportionately high distribution numbers on the DVD-market, with our niche-programs, compared to the cinema. We really have a good position there. "

FRANCAIS: (mini-résumé seulement, dsl)
Dommage, pas un mot de Mathis/Frida dans tous ces interviews, on le voit seulement quelques secondes en arriere-plan :-( ("Backstage"+"Nils")
Mais la bonne nouvelle c'est: Ca sonne comme on aura le film aussi sur DVD!
Samir dit qu'une compagnie de DVDs etait la premiere à joindre le projet. Que c'est evident qu'ils ont vu le potential dans ce theme, et il trouve ca correcte, car quelques autres de ses projets ont déjà eu bien plus de succes sur DVD que dans les cinemas.
Il dit aussi que la television est aussi parmi les financiers, ainsi que, involontairement, la Fondation de Film à Zurich, qui depuis le debut ont refusé de soutenir "un film si obscene et pervers", mais par quelques "fonds de reference" qui restaient encore de son succes passé, et qui sont dans ce film maintenant, alors la fondation l'a "indirectement" financié aussi.


DEUTSCH:
Schade, kein einziges Wort über Mathis/Frida in den ganzen Interviews, man sieht ihn nur mal ganz kurz im Hintergrund :-( ("Backstage"+"Nils")
Aber die gute Nachricht ist: Es scheint, der Film kommt auch auf DVD raus!
Samir: "Also wichtig war zu sehen, dass eigentlich die DVD-Vertrieb als erste eingestiegen sind. Das war ganz offensichtlich, dass sie das Potential bei diesem Thema gesehen haben. Und ich muss sagen, das ist auch korrekt so, weil wir haben jetzt mit mehreren Filmen, die wir herausgebracht haben, eigentlich unverhältnismäßig hohe Distributionszahlen gemacht auf dem DVD-Markt, mit unseren Nischen-Programmen, im Verhältnis zum Kino."
Das Fernsehen ist auch mit im Boot, sowie -unfreiwillig- die Zürcher Filmstiftung: "Die Filmstiftung hat von Anfang an gesagt: NYET. "So ein obszönes, perverses Projekt wollen wir nicht unterstützen." Dann hatten wir aber durch unsere Erfolge in den letzten Jahren sehr viele Referenzgelder, und die sind jetzt in diesen Film hineingeflossen. Also hat die Filmstiftung Zürich indirekt auch den Film finanziert..."

Räuberinnen: Backstage-Video 2008-05-07

TV swiss SF1: "Glanz&Gloria"

Backstage Räuberinnen, Finale 2008-05-07!
(Tournage/Shooting/Dreh in ZÜRICH, Villa Pathumba)

Video 3 min, Allemand et SOUS-TITRES francais
Traduction par fans Sanna99 et aidé de Shnoukie et Biloute :-)
(Deutsch mit franz. Untertiteln / German with french subtitles)

Mini-interviews: Samir, Nils Althaus, +2x Mathis!

youtube-video Raeuberinnen Glanz&Gloria

FRANCAIS:
Mathis: Et bien, naturellement j'ai découvert certains traits féminins en moi, qui sont maintenant encore plus accentués. C'est donc un peu bizarre, si tout à coup on réfléchit, "eh bien, je ne suis pas encore vraiment parfait comme femme", et alors on commence à étudier ses petites zones problématiques etc. C'est donc intéressant comme ça se passe vite.

Zones problématiques, Mr Künzler? Pardon?? ;-)

Alors, j'ai perdu un peu de poids pour le rôle, et maintenant c'est mis en valeur. Environ quatre kilos.

(...) Ou alors ils font comme Mathis Künzler, et se déguisent en femme. La star du "Destin de Lisa" y a découvert une toute nouvelle facette:

Mathis: Oui parfait, je m'y suis déjà vraiment fait. Non, c'est bien, et naturellement, quand je porte tous ces corsets machins, ça aide aussi. Et peu à peu tous mes gestes deviennent plus féminins, alors, je suis juste en train de m'échauffer.
ENGLISH:
Mathis: Well, of course I've discovered certain female traits in me, that are yet more emphasized now. That's kinda strange in a way, if suddenly you're musing "I'm just not quite a perfect woman yet" and such, and you start studying around at your little problem zones etc. That's quite interesting, how fast that happens.

Problem zones, Mr Künzler? Pardon me?? ;-)

Well, so I've lost a little weight for that role, and now it's showing well. About four kilos.

(...) Or they do it like Mathis Künzler, and disguise themselves as women. So the star of "Verliebt in Berlin" discovered a whole new side.

Mathis: Yeah great, I'm really grown into it yet. No, it's okay, and when I'm wearing all that corsett stuff here, that helps too of course. And all my gestures are slowly becoming more female, so, I'm just warming up.

"Räuberinnen": Spoiler-Update

Oh.. my... g.. *shock*
The german Räuberinnen-page is brandnew updated: Now the story has really changed again - it was bizarre, but it's always possible to get even more bizarre... And bloody cruel, uahh...

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Now poor Joseph gets blinded, and it's not him anymore that Emily tries to rescue by delivering herself, but her friend Trizi (who still gets her tongue torn out!)
(End spoiler)
Warning: Tons of spoilers, very long and detailed!
Dschoint Ventschr: RAEUBERINNEN

(I suppose the english page will soon get updated as well)


Swiss press:
The movie will be shown in the swiss cinemas in automn 2008!
(Edit a bit later: currently they say in Dec 2008)

(Well, that thing is really extreme, so let's wait and see... )



New article in swiss yellowpress blick.ch (2008-04-26)
(2nd Mathis-Photo, see above!)
«In ‹Räuberinnen› wird zwar an einigen Stellen Gewalt und Sexua­lität in böser und irritierender Form dargestellt, aber der Film ist auf keinen Fall pornografisch», ­betont Samir. (...) «Die Männer sind in ihrem Film mit wenigen Ausnahmen dumm, böse und gewalttätig. Die Frauen stehen dem jedoch in nichts nach!»

Traduc Sanna99:
«C'est vrai que dans "Filles Brigandes" on présente parfois de la violence et s*xualité d'une manière méchante et irritante, pourtant le film n'est en aucun cas porn*graphique», confirme Samir (=Producteur) (...) «Les hommes dans son film (de realisatrice C. Lia Monti) sont, avec peu d'exceptions, stupids, méchants et violants. Cependant les femmes ne le sont pas moins!»

«It may be true that in "Robber Girls" in some scenes violence and sexuality are depicted in an evil and irritating manner, but in no way is the movie pornographic» stresses Samir. (...) «The men in her movie (of director C. Lia Monti) are, with few exceptions, stupid, evil and violent. The women though are so no bit less.»
Hum, not really my taste :-((

"Raeuberinnen" Shooting started

Source Site Officiel: www.dschointventschr.ch - News

2008-04-18 . . . 2008-06-01

DREHARBEITEN "RAEUBERINNEN":
3 Wochen in der Schweiz, dann 3 Wochen in Luxemburg!

TOURNAGE "FILLES BRIGANDES":
3 semaines dans la Suisse, et apres trois semaines dans Luxembourg!

SHOOTING "ROBBER GIRLS":

3 weeks in Switzerland, then 3 weeks in Luxembourg!


bishopINFOS - DSCHOINT VENTSCHR:

Deutsch: RAEUBERINNEN

English: ROBBER GIRLS (more details at ending)

Francais: FILLES BRIGANDES (mini et vieux dates de tournage)

(teaser-video has 3 different names, but it's always the same and german)


Oh, I hadn't seen the english page before, and it seems there are more spoilers for the ending than in the german version! ;-)
"Katharina uses Josef as bait, to blackmail Emily. Thus Emily yields to her mothers’ demands in order to ensure that Josef doesn’t get killed. Back at the Bischops castle, Emily gets ready for her arranged marriage to Von Bock.

The rest of the Robber Girls decide that they will rescue Emily. Dressed as nuns coming to the wedding, they shuffle into the church. A big rescue mission ensures that the wedding is called off just before the vows are exchanged..."

And the latest actors update:
Nina Bühlmann, Alexandra Prusa, Myriam Muller, Cynthia Coray, Nils Althaus, Hanspeter Ulli, Mathis Künzler, Sascha Ley, Sabine Timoteo, Céline Wenger, Viktor Giacobbo, Patrick Frey, Kaspar Weiss und Gianin Löffler.
The first must be the new main actress. A few months ago the woman who should play Lisa left the cast. No idea why, but with all that putting off again and again for one and a half year, no wonder. Now "Lisa" is renamed into an "Emily", and there's a new name on the first place of the cast list.... And there are also some changes among the other actors it seems.
