Variety reports that Estonian director Oskar Lehemaa is bringing his first English-language film to the market: a body horror project called 'Birth.' It follows a couple who've spent years trying to conceive and, with options running out, turn to a secluded fertility retreat deep in the woods as a last resort before IVF. Variety describes the film's take on pregnancy as 'grotesque and terrifying'—and it's already impressing the Tallifornia Film Fund after its debut at the Frontières Co-Production Market.
