We are thrilled to reveal that the Festival will open with the Australian premiere of Denys Arcand's DAYS OF DARKNESS (L'AGE DES TENEBRES).
Denys Arcand, arguably Quebec's most famous filmmaker, is best known for The Barbarian Invasions which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2004. The film, which was also nominated in the Best Screenplay category, was a huge hit in Australia and around the world. Arcand is also the director of such classics as Jesus of Montreal and The Decline of the American Empire.
Days of Darkness is a cerebral comedy brimming with keen and caustic observations on Western Society. It stars Marc Labrech, Rufus Wainwright, Diane Kruger and Emma de Caunes.
The film had its world premiere in Cannes last year and will be showing in Australia for the first time at Dendy Opera Quays on November 27th following our Opening Night reception. The full program will be online November 3rd.
