Danish film musical selected for San Sebastián festival
The Danish-produced film musical ‘The End’, directed by Oscar-nominated Joshua Oppenheimer, has been selected for the main competition at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain. The festival announced this on its website. Produced by Final Cut for Real with Danish producer Signe Byrge Sørensen, the film explores the life of one of the last families living luxuriously in an underground bunker after Earth’s apocalypse. The arrival of a stranger causes the son, played by George MacKay, to question their subterranean lifestyle. The cast includes Oscar winners Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon. ‘The End’ will also premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and is part of Denmark’s notable film collaborations. San Sebastián’s festival runs from September 20-28, with no Danish release date for the film yet announced.
