Avesta, a young Kurdish-Yazidi woman and ISIS survivor, winds up in Brussels to wreak vengeance upon the man who enslaved her. Between a struggle for justice that sees her revisit her darkest hours, and having to mother an unwelcome child, Avesta fights to be heard whatever it takes.
The virgin and child, the first feature film by Binevsa Berivan had the honor to have its première at the Ostend Film Festival this Tuesday January the 30th with the whole cast.
Thanks to the FFO for its warm welcome and the whole team for being there!
The shooting of THE VIRGIN AND CHILD, Binevsa Berivan’s first feature film, co-written with David Lambert, has started.
The shooting is taking place mainly in Brussels and is supported by our co-producer Polar Bear, and our numerous partners such as the Centre du Cinéma de la FWB, Screen Brussels, Vlaamse Audiovisueel Funds, Proximus, BeTV, Shelter prod, Taxshelter.be and ING, DGD — development cooperation, and Triodos Bank.
On this occasion, Cinevox wrote a nice article to read!
