The Hunt
The Hunt is a disturbing depiction of how a lie becomes the truth when gossip, doubt and malice are allowed to flourish and ignite a witch-hunt that soon threatens to destroy an innocent man's life.
Mads Mikkelsen delivers a superb, award-winning performance as Lucas, a former school teacher who has been forced to start over having overcome a tough divorce and the loss of his job. Just as things are starting to go his way, his life is shattered. A untruthful remark throws the small community into a collective state of hysteria. The lie is spreading and Lucas is forced to fight a lonely fight for his life and dignity.
Co-founder of the Dogme movement and director of the award-winning international hit FESTEN (THE CELEBRATION), Thomas Vinterberg delivers yet another powerful drama that is sure to leave its mark. Vinterberg wrote the screenplay together with fellow writer-director Tobias Lindholm. THE HUNT re-establishes their successful collaboration which began on the critically acclaimed SUBMARINO which premiered in competition at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival. Among others, SUBMARINO received the prestigious Nordic Council Film Award.
The Other Son
As Joseph (Jules Sitruk) is preparing to join the Israeli army for his national service, he discovers he is not his parents' biological son, and that he was inadvertantly switched at birth with Yassin, the son of a Palestinian family from the West Bank. This revelation turns the lives of these two families upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, their values and their beliefs.
