Father Adam takes over a small parish in the middle of nowhere. He organizes a community centre for boys with troubled pasts. His energy appreciated, the locals accept him as one of their own. Everybody wants to be close to him, feeding off of his vitality and power, but no one knows he harbors his own secret. After meeting an eccentric and silent young man, a local pariah, Father Adams is forced to confront a long forgotten burden and passion. As the villagers’ worst suspicions are validated, Father Adam becomes the obvious enemy.

“A very compelling parable about a culture that has seen many years of agony... highlighted by superb acting in every corner” CINEMA BEACH ”Comes together in a wonderful narrative tapestry that challenges the notion of no good deed going unpunished.” FILM THREAT “A straightforward and ultimately moving ﬁlm about the damage done to people’s soul from the hostilities that racked the region for years. Top-notch performances and traditional craft should make this an appealing entry on the festival circuit.” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“S-VHS delivers a nearly unbroken series ‘Safe Haven’ (Gareth Evans and Timo of visceral shocks, with more frighten- Tjahjanto's segment) is a bold piece of ing extremes than the original V/H/S.” original horror that will widely be revered, INDIEWIRE applauded. It's a towering achievement “With its streamlined approach and group in horror cinema, no matter its size or of ridiculously talented filmmakers at the stylistic confines.Unforgettable.“ PLAYLIST helm, S-VHS is a total success, and there “A second instalment in the horror will surely be more to come.” TWITCH omnibus series that began with last “Less turns out to be much more for year’s V/H/S. Bloodier, more intense, ‘S-VHS’. This rip-roaring good time for and on the whole more effective than genre fans should easily build on the first its predecessor.” SCREENDAILY edition's success in all formats (and more "S-VHS comes at the viewer like a boxer, territories), with further franchise setting them up with a few stiff jabs extension a no-brainer.” VARIETY before firing off a couple of big-time “S-VHS doesn’t have a weak link in haymakers.” AIN'T IT COOL the bunch.

“The film is markedly more frightening than its predecessor, in a crooked ‘Night of the Hunter’ vein. That's not to say it's without some gratifyingly cheap jolts. As in the original, the encroachment of authorities ratchets up tension further toward the climax, but Mickle and Damici find a denouement all their own; it'll certainly be a talking point among audiences.” VARIETY “Outdoing the original by a long shot, Mickle's slow-burn take on the story is poetic, creepy and, finally, satisfyingly gross.” INDIEWIRE “A refreshingly mature genre entry that plants queasy dread and unleashes a good dose of scares, the film is that rare modern horror movie that doesn’t simply fabri- cate its scares with the standard bag of post-production tricks and grips from start to finish. Both actresses are terrific!” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER “Stylishly directed and unnerving to its core, Mickle's We Are What We Are is a prime example of horror done right.” THE FILMSTAGE ‘We Are What We Are’ firmly cements Mickle as one of horror’s most interesting directors. The visual storytelling skill on display here is some of the strongest the genre has seen in years.” FILMTHREAT “Featuring strong performances and taking full advantage of the melancholy Catskills setting, this is undeniably one good-looking piece of cinema.” BLOODYDISGUSTING “A grisly, outrageous tale of a small-town family of flesh- eaters that's both chilling and blackly comic.” TOTAL FILM

Meet the Parkers: a family with an uncontrollable taste for ﬂesh. Frank, the father, owns the family’s failing trailer park business and, as a hobby, assembles antique watches in an old shed, from which muted sounds can be heard late at night. Emma, the mother, is a devout religious woman who carries the heavy burden of looking after her children in a small town struck by an economic crisis. And then there are the kids: little Rory has quite the imagina- tion, constantly battling nightmares of monsters in the basement. Rose and Iris, the beautiful, blonde teenage girls, whose purity is preserved until they suddenly realize they need to continue the family tradition of the Lamb’s Feast, a gruesome ritual inherited from their ancestors, the ﬁrst settlers… SCREENING By the director of STAKE LAND TBA (Audience Award Winner Midnight Madness Toronto 2011)

SILVER SHELL FOR BEST ACTRESS FOXFIRE SAN SEBASTIAN 2012 A FILM BY LAURENT CANTET

“A masterpiece! The actresses are simply stunning.” LE NOUVEL OBSERVATEUR “A jubilation unknown to Laurent Cantet. The casting process – similar the one of ‘The Class’ – brings equal results: the actresses evolve with a breathtaking ease in a universe halfway between history and utopia.” LE MONDE “Highly sensual and wildly anti-establishment, these ‘Confessions of a girl gang’ will haunt the dreams and nightmares of the audience for a long time.” MARIANNE “As beautiful as it is surprising, these Foxfire girls filmed by Cantet appear like the ancestors of Pussy Riot. Foxfire burns with contemporaneity, the beauty of the film resides in this fire that refuses all forms of backward-looking and consumes the screen.” LES INROCKUPTIBLES “Led by the revelation Raven Adamson, this girl gang is remarkable.” LIBERATION “Cantet tracks down the limits of revolt, with a thriller tempo and sometimes dread- ful tension. He’s helped in his quest by a stunning group of actresses. The wild epic scope of the film will question you as much as it will grab you.” PREMIERE
