Stranger in a Village: Zurich Development Funding

The jury of Zurich Film Fund decided to financially support the development of our project STRANGER IN A VILLAGE. The screenplay will be written by Samir and Joël Jent for a film to be directed by Samir. The story centers around internationally renowned writer James Baldwin and the weeks he spent in the Swiss mountains in the early 1950s, where he completed his first novel, as well as his groundbreaking essay “Stranger in a Village”.
