Dear Friends:
|
| We are proud to announce that two of Fortissimo’s current titles will receive their world premieres at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. BORGMAN from the Netherlands by critically acclaimed director Alex van Warmerdam is selected In Competition, while India’s MONSOON SHOOTOUT from debut director Amit Kumar is selected for the Midnight Screenings. |
| BORGMAN is the central character in Alex van Warmerdam’s dark, malevolent fable. Is he a dream or a demon, a twisted allegory or an all-too-real embodiment of our fears? BORGMAN is a sinister arrival in the sealed-off streets of modern suburbia. His presence unleashes a crowing gallery of distortion around the careful façade constructed by an arrogant, comfortable couple, their three children and nanny. Its the first time in 38 years that a film from the Netherlands will participate in the Main Competition in Cannes. |
| MONSOON SHOOTOUT represents a new kind of independent cinema from India. This thriller explores the impact that one’s choices make on the lives of others. As heavy monsoon rains lash the badlands of Mumbai, Adi, a rookie cop out on his first assignment faces a life altering decision when he must decide whether to shoot or not to shoot. The film presents three scenarios, all resulting from the decision that Adi makes. |
