BARLETTA SLATE

ongoing

Barletta Mini-Slate 2024 presents an exciting lineup of two live-action feature films and one animated feature, all designed to elevate Barletta Productions’ scope and ambitions. Each project is structured as a European co-production, with a strong focus on international markets and distribution. The slate underscores Barletta's commitment to delivering high-quality content with socially relevant, compelling narratives, reflecting the company’s dedication to resonating with today’s audiences and staying ahead of emerging trends. The selected stories focus on young people, with themes that echo the evolving preferences of modern viewers. WISH IT!, the second feature by Annecy award-winning writer and director Kristina Dufková, is a heartfelt exploration of childhood dreams and their lasting impact on adult life. SUMMER’S END AT THE OZON HOTEL, by European Film Award-winning director/writer Tomáš Luňák and writer/producer Maja Hamplová, presents a haunting tale of eight women wandering a post-apocalyptic world devoid of men—until they discover one man living in a fully operational hotel. Finally, the sci-fi drama SLEEP WELL, directed by the award-winning Matěj Chlupáček and written by Anne Barnhoorn and Miro Šifra, empathetically tells the story of a girl with chronic fatigue disorder, imagining a world where individuals can escape the pressures of reality through self-induced comas. This diverse slate reflects Barletta’s commitment to bold, innovative storytelling while fostering long-term creative partnerships. By exploring new territories and collaborations, the company builds on its past successes while continuing to champion fresh voices and talent on the global stage.
