Nathalie Trafford’s Paraiso Production Diffusion and Jérôme Vidal’s Noodles from France and Roberto Rodríguez’sand Luis Miñarro’s Eddie Saeta from Spain have teamed to co-produce Javier Rebollo’s “Dans la chambre du Sultan.”
“Dans la chambre du Sultan” turns on Gabriel Veyre , the most gifted of Auguste and Louis Lumière’s camera operators who traveled to Morocco for three months in 1900, hired by the Sultan Moulay Abd el-Aziz to initiate him into the mysteries of cinema. He remained for his lifetime. “Like Veyre, Javier is an adventurer and a curious person, someone who knows how to put life in art and a lot of art in life. In ‘Dans la chambre du Sultán,’ starting from this fascinating historical character, Javier will shoot an anti-biopic,” Natalie Trafford at Paraiso Production told She added: “In the feature Javier blends a multitude of genres, from adventure films to porn and from horror to melodrama with admirable spontaneity and respect.
“For 20 years I have been pursuing Gabriel Veyre, the famous yet unknown Lumière operator, a fascinating character who was both novelistic and real,” Rebollo said. He added: “Now, I have been able to investigate his life and archives in Paris, Lyon, Marrakech, Tangier, Rabat and Casablanca, to meet and learn from his heirs, and, above all, I have been able to travel with Luis Bértolo, my assistant and co-writer, to the places where he lived and worked.
