Archived Articles | 26 Jan 2007 | Adu RaudkiviEWR
Vancouver based feature film producer Tina Pehme's film "Partition", a romance drama of forbidden love in India, opens on February 2, 2007, in theatres across Canada.
Pehme, whose father is Estonian and mother is Norwegian and has three children, is releasing a feature film which she co-produced with her partner, Kim Roberts. Since 1994 she has produced four films, before that she was a production co-ordinator.
The story is about a love affair between a 38 year-old Sikh man and a 17 year-old Muslim woman in a village near the India/Pakistan border during the late forties when the sub continent received its independence from Britain.
"Partition" is the division of land and civilities between India and Pakistan which is the background of this romance. There is also an English lady played by Canadian actor Neve Campbell.
"We started this project in 1994, have gone through several attempted financings until we finally completed it. It seemed like its time (of the film) had come," said Pehme.
Pehme met the director/screenwriter/director of photography Vic Sarin on a film shoot in India and was told the story which was in the same vein that was told to him by his father. Sarin, who is a well known Canadian filmmaker, joined Pehme and Roberts, in 1994, in forming Sepia Films.

Hello,
I'm a filmmaker from Venice, California. My father was born in Estonia, and my grandfather and uncle participated in important events that marked both a return to independence in 1919, and the eventual occupation of Estonia by the Soviets in the early 40's. My uncle was sent to the gulags, from where he eventually escaped, and my grandfather escaped with my father and his siblings to Austrian relocation camps, and then to the U.S. I'm incorporating family history as well as important events in my film, and would love an Estonian/English speaking collaborator on research to come on board the project. It is as yet unfunded, but interest in co-producing the project has been expressed by a major Estonian production company. I have a well established career as a producer here in Hollywood, and feel that this is the most important project I've ever worked on, creatively. I'd love input and ideas, and I welcome your comments as well. Perhaps we can make a movie together!
