Shadowboxer
This is supposed to take you back to the beginning...
Doesn't it feel like ages ago since we were sitting in classrooms (and on the odd occasion in the editing lab) with Efrat watching footage of a smoking Mum on a toilet watching her daughter combed her hair, all filmed through a tiny hallway?!
Well, here's some more information about the filmmaker and her career. If you guys are interested in actually seeing the entire film you can download Shadowboxer as a podcast (if you can't find it directly download UCLA's short films episode 1 of "Tight Shorts").
Vilka Tzouras is an independent filmmaker and writer. She spent the greater part of her youth training and working as a professional ballet dancer. ... At the age of twenty-one, she was forced to quit due to a knee injury after which she began her studies at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts earning her a bachelor degree with Honors in Film and Television Production. She started her career as an editor and producer at Ogilvy & Mather in New York City.
Vilka received the Wasserman Award, the Carl Lerner Award, Best European Short Film Award at the Brest Film Festival in France and was nominated for the Director's Guild of America Award for her first film Soldier's Bride (1998), a short about mass rape in Bosnia. "Soldier's Bride" screened at festivals both in Europe and the U.S. such as The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival in NY and London.
Her most recent short Shadowboxer (2002), a film on female teenage violence, was made possible with the financial support of The New York State Council on the Arts. "Shadowboxer" premiered at The Athens International Film Festival in Greece and has since screened at various festivals such as The Palm Springs Film Festival, American Film Institute Film Fest and was awarded Best Mid-length Film at the Brest European Short Film Festival in France and the Grand Jury Best Short at Nodance and the Silver Remi award for Directing at the Worldfest in Houston. Vilka currently lives and works in Athens and New York City.
