“Vagina Dentata,” the new film from Norwegian filmmaker Nataša Urban, whose “The Eclipse” won top honors at CPH:DOX in 2022, has been boarded by Manifest Film.
The Romanian outfit will co-produce “Vagina Dentata,” a genre-bending exploration of motherhood and postnatal depression that will be pitched at this week’s Nordic Co-Production Market in Haugesund.
Produced by Ingvil Giske through Norway’s Medieoperatørene, the project is currently 60% financed, with most of the secured funding coming from the Norwegian Film Institute.
In another addition to the film, Romanian editor Dana Bunescu — whose credits include Cristian Mungiu’s “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days,” Cristi Puiu’s “The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu,” Călin Peter Netzer’s “Child’s Pose” and Alexander Nanau’s Oscar-nominated documentary “Collective” — is attached to edit.
The team is now seeking additional co-production partners in France, Germany and/or Hungary, alongside further financing, distribution and festival connections.
