FIELD NOTES
Ilienfero rebrands as Far & Away
After 5 years as Ilienfero Productions, the studio founded by Ben Consmueller & Ilia Lipsman in 2020 has turned over a new leaf. Though the name has changed, the same daring spirit that inspired their journey remains central to everything they do.
Far & Away's Debut Short Film Always Felt was short-listed at the 2024 Cannes Lions Young Director Awards. A film that explores themes of love, support, and resilience in the face of adversity, it takes a heartbreaking look at the reality of young people dealing with chronic illness. The film also won Beyond the Short, and was a raw selection in the 2024 Berlin Commercial Awards.
Director-Duo Ben & Ilia featured in LBB's Best and Brightest Rising Talent
The two were honoured to share the stage with some incredibly talented directors in LBB's Canadian Feature. The feature explores their roots as directors and highlights their most important work to-date.
