WINTER BROTHERS selected for Busan

Winter Brothers, writer/director Hlynur Pálmason‘s debut feature, has been selected for the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. The film, a Danish/Icelandic coproduction, will have its Asian premiere at the festival. The Busan International Film Festival will run from October 12 through 21.

Winter Brothers had its world premiere in August at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, where it scooped up four awards. It also won a Special Mention at T-Mobile New Horizons in Wroclaw, Poland. Winter Brothers recently screened in the Discovery section of the Toronto International Film Festival and has been selected for the BFI London Film Festival.

Winter Brothers is a brother odyssey set in a worker‘s environment during a cold winter. We follow two brothers – their routines, habits and rituals – and a violent feud that erupts between them and another family.

Winter Brothers is written and directed Hlynur Pálmason. It is produced by Danish production company Masterplan Pictures and Anton Máni Svansson for Icelandic production company Join Motion Pictures.
