Gallivant Film and Wislocki Films are thrilled to announce that Another News Story, the gripping feature documentary debut from Director Orban Wallace, will have it’s worldwide VOD release on 24th June. The film was shortlisted in the 2018 Grierson Awards in the Best Single Documentary – International category, following its World Premiere at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2017 and a run in over 30 international film festivals as well as a limited theatrical release. Called ‘a brilliant film’ by Charlie Phillips in The Observer, Another News Story captures both the ground-floor perspective of the European refugee crisis and the jarring press frenzy that surrounds it. 'The end result is probably as profound an insight into the true nature of the refugee crisis as you will ever get' P. Stuart Robinson- Montages Magazine
Another News Story was filmed during the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis. Wallace’s film follows refugees from the Greek island of Lesbos, into Hungary and Croatia and across Europe to a hoped-for sanctuary. The film chronicles a journey beset by physical deprivation and danger, bureaucratic and political obstacles and thousands of miles of uncertainty. But the British director also turns his camera on the world media on assignment in the Mediterranean as they cover the unfolding humanitarian tragedy. In today’s chaotic era, what is the who, how, and why of the 24-hour breaking news cycle as it relates to global conflicts and crises? When faced with immeasurable suffering, how do they balance their humanity with professional objectivity and the day to day mundanity of their jobs. Is it possible to walk the line between a good story and sensationalism? Or, glazed, do you just go after another news story?
The film boasts a sumptuous soundtrack by composers Ash Koosha (star of Cannes special Jury prize winner No One Knows About Persian Cats 2009) and Noemie Ducimetiere (who also gives striking vocal performances), with additional music from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Amon Tobin, James Jones, The Hidden Orchestra, and Vahakn Gehlhaar-Matossian.
