QUAKE had its world premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival
Tinna Hrafnsdóttir's debut feature, Quake, had its world premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival on November 20. The film had great feedback from premiere guests and positive reviews from film critics.
Rob Aldam at Backseat Mafia writes: "it's a film which builds up its story in a number of layers." In Cinerama Film Online, Neil Baker writes: "Hrafnsdóttir's delicate yet powerful exploration of memory and family is both beautiful and assured. Her screenplay, wrapping us in Saga's slowly crumbling world before rebuilding that world through the shards of a fractured memory."
Quake was written and directed by Tinna Hrafnsdóttir. The film based on a novel by Audur Jónsdóttir and tells the story of Saga, a single mother in her late 30s. She recovers from a sudden and severe epileptic attack, repressed memories start to return, revealing painful truths about her and her past. The film stars Aníta Briem, Edda Björgvinsdóttir and Jóhann Sigurdsson.
Quake was produced by Hlín Jóhannesdóttir for Ursus Parvus and international sales are being handled by Alief.
