Also scheduled to be screened in Vancouver is Peter Luisi's feature film "Der Sandmann," which has already won numerous awards in America. In addition, two Swiss coproductions are on the festival programme: "The Turin Horse" by Hungarian director Béla Tarr and "Corpo celeste" by Italian director Alice Rohrwacher, which had celebrated their premieres in Berlin and in Cannes, respectively. Parallel to the festival in Vancouver, the two films will be screened at the 49th New York Film Festival (September 30 - October 16). Furthermore, the Vancouver International Film Festival will present the film "Nainsukh" by Indian director Amit Dutta, produced by Dr. Eberhard Fischer, former director of the Rietberg Museum in Zurich and Indian curator and presented in Venice last year at the Mostra.
The festival, which attracted some 148,000 viewers last year, is geared towards its audience and has no competition, showcasing more than 350 film productions from 80 countries. As such, it is an ideal platform for promotion in North America.
