Profile: Based on a true story – Screen life masterpiece of Timur Bekmambetov

PROFILE follows an undercover British journalist in her quest to bait and expose a terrorist recruiter through social media, while trying not to be sucked in by her recruiter and lured into becoming a militant extremist herself.
The fact is that the film was shot back in 2017, and was shown at film festivals in 2018. At that time, Director Timur Bekmambetov actually invented this genre. All the famous screenlife films including Unfriended and Searching were produced by Timur Bekmambetov’s company Basilevs.
Timur Bekmambetov then decided not to release the film and decided to focus on producing more spectator films. Apparently, because of the pandemic and the news about Islamic extremism in Europe (the recent execution of a teacher in France), he decided that his film has gained relevance.
In Theaters May 14.
The unconventional thriller plays out entirely on a computer screen in the Screenlife format, pioneered by Bekmambetov.
