StrangeRivers Productions is a collective consisting of five actresses from five different European countries that was formed in 2017 in London.

Together with our UK producer Ewa Habdas and our AUT producer Julia Stipsits we have assembled a team of filmmakers from more than 10 countries to bring Sweet Survival to life.

 

Kunst & Musik supports emerging artists to get a foothold in the creative industry. Since the very beginning, the association has been supporting the project - creating a film that aims to challenge the way women are seen on screen and empower emerging filmmakers.
