Interesting facts

Hunting Flies (Fluefangeren) is a 2016 Norwegian drama film directed and written by Izer Aliu.

Production

Hunting Flies is the directorial debut feature film of Izer Aliu, who also wrote the screenplay. It was produced by Khalid Maimouni, who was born in Tangier, Morocco, in 1979, moving to Norway when he was 11. He has been involved in filmmaking since 2007.

After the project had started in April of 2013, filming was done over 22 days of the hot summer, in a rural area near Skopje in Macedonia. Nils Eilif Bremdal was director of photography and part of a team of only five people. Writer/director Aliu worked from an 11-page synopsis, developing the script as they worked.

There was only one professional actor in the film, Burhan Amiti; the rest were friends and relatives, including the filmmaker's wife, as it was difficult to find women prepared to act in the film.
