"This recent Spanish Film Festival standout is a powerful reminder that the scars of Spain’s 20th century history are everywhere. Interleaved with the present-day story of Ariadna (Laia Costa), who travels to Burgos in search of a great-grandfather she never knew, THE TEACHER WHO PROMISED THE SEA is a tenderly realised and strikingly well shot film anchored by a fine performance by Enric Auquer." - Jason Blake, LIMELIGHT 

Touring nationally 17 Jul-14 Aug, the 10th annual SCANDINAVIAN FILM FESTIVAL showcases the best in contemporary Nordic cinema. Among the many highlights is Nils Gaup's stirring Norwegian historical drama THE RIOT which opens the Festival nationally, Gustav Möller's gripping new Danish moral thriller SONS starring Sidse Babbett Knudsen, Rúnar Rúnarsson's poignant Icelandic drama WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS, screening direct from Cannes.

On the eve of A SILENCE's release, writer/director Joachim Lafosse and actress Emmanuelle Devos discussed their absorbing psychological drama’s real-life precedents, distinguishing art from prosecution, and much more with Rough Cut Film's Philippa Hawker. Lafosse: "When you buy a ticket to the movies you're there to experience feelings and sensations. And without those feelings there is no genuine thought.”
