Fantastic Fest, the enthusiastic, audience devoted and genre oriented
film festival in Austin, Texas, is coming up and on its line-up we´re
happy to see nothing less than two world premieres and a festival
darling.
World premiering at Fantastic Fest are two Norwegian films, each in their own category; the action-packed adventure RAGNAROK by Mikkel Sandemose, the director behind the successful horror-thriller COLD PREY - THE BEGINNING (2010) and the warm and quirky comedy DETECTIVE DOWNS by Bård Breien, who debuted with the much appraised and award-winning THE ART OF NEGATIVE THINKING (2007).
Festival darling NORTHWEST
will also hit the screens in Austin. Ever since Michael Noer's
award-winning urban drama world premiered at Rotterdam International
Film Festival this year, it has travelled extensively worldwide -
including to the States, where it celebrated its North American premiere
at Tribeca Film Festival.
Fantastic Fest is hailed as one of the most influential film festival in North America, successfully launching CLOWN amongst others back in 2011.
