This week we're kicking off the new year with a pair of screenings at the Festival du Film Fantastique in Gérardmer, France. The festival theme is "evolution of and prospects for fantasy cinema," so it's only fitting that NIGHTMARES IN RED WHITE AND BLUE will appear on a double bill with VIANDE D'ORIGIN FRANCAISE, a documentary about French horror films in the 21st century. Gérardmer 2010 will also feature a tribute to action director John McTiernan (PREDATOR, DIE HARD) and an astute selection of films that use silence to maximum effect (EL TOPO, SOLARIS, ALIEN, etc). For more details, check out the official festival website.
In the upcoming weeks, we plan to announce more festival screenings... as well as the details of a major domestic distribution deal! Keep an eye out.
