“FIVE KINGDOMS (II) - The Desert” - Film Production coming to East Timor

The International production of the Gothic 1905 Cinema Feature film Trilogy FIVE KINGDOMS (II) is coming to East Timor - with scenes set to be filmed in Timor Leste.

The First in the series of films which only show in Cinemas without online screening; Premiered Internationally at the pre-eminent Electric Cinema in London, Great Britain, The Dante Cinema in Venice, Italy & the historic Lumiere Cinema, Christchurch, NZ along with participation at the Cannes Festival (Festival du Cannes) & the Venice Film Festival (Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia) and it is making its way around the world with translation into Italian for an Italian tour underway at present.

The film has been described as a New Gothic Trilogy: - Anandas the Monk lives in a time where Electricity is a new invention, Water, Fire, Steam, and Wind are the main forms of energy. Anandas is asked by the Abbott to take up residence in the Forest at the Hermitage for a full year. The monk falls afoul of the townsfolk in the local village led by Mayor Fandacious Simplistus & he is tested as to his resolve to stay for the full year at The Hermitage.

New Zealand Producer & Director Samuel Miller said “considering the military sacrifice & friendship of New Zealand & Timor Leste with our shared future, it makes perfect sense to film in a location with all the Magic, the History, Timorese & Portuguese Culture, the local talent & amazing scenery of the Archipeligo, including Oecusse, Atauro & Iaco.”

The International cast have begun filming in New Zealand at Port Levy & Woodend in North Canterbury, with further scenes including U.K., French, Indian, & Singapore actors arriving for the 2nd Film; the production plans to base themselves in Timor for a 4-5 week shoot in 2026.

He said, “We are looking for local sponsors & partners to help us with the production on the Islands, we are already in dialogue with local Airlines plus we are looking for all kinds of local Extras, Actors & Crew that can help to make the production memorable in this amazing location” The scenes in East Timor will be exotic & fantastical and are set in a time of Wind, Steam & the early exciting introduction of Gun Powder.”

The Woodglen Studios production team in New Zealand are looking for all kinds of talent & skills for this exciting upcoming Movie and look forward to working with locals to make this movie a Cinematic Triumph bringing Timor Leste to some of the greatest Cinemas all over the World!
