film, securing distribution in France (MK2), Russia (Caravella), Greece (One

from the Heart), Mexico (Cannibal Networks), Hungary (Vertigo), Estonia (Estin

Film) and Hong Kong (Edko).

 

 

 

Following

fully-booked and successful screenings at the World Premiere in Venice two

months ago and the Toronto International Film Festival in September WE ARE THE

BEST! has become a darling among both festivals, audience and critics.

 

TrustNordisk has so

far sold the film to more than 30 countries including key territories such as

US, UK, Australia, Benelux and Italy. WE ARE

THE BEST is currently screening at London Film Festival before travelling to

Tokyo Film Festival which kicks off today and where the film will screen in

competition.

 

 

 

Following

critically acclaimed features such as SHOW ME LOVE AKA FUCKING AMAL, TOGETHER

and LILYA 4-EVER, WE ARE THE BEST! is Lukas Moodysson´s 7th feature film and

revolves around Bobo, Klara and Hedvig, three young outsiders in 1980s

Stockholm who despite their differences find unity in music and form a punk

band without having any instruments and even though everybody says that punk is

dead.

 

 

 

WE ARE THE BEST! is

produced by Lars Jönsson for Memfis Film, co-produced by Film I Väst, SVT and

Zentropa in co-operation with Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) and with

support from the Swedish Film Institute, The Danish Film Institute and Nordisk
