Description

An artist haunted by nightmares, chases visions of her disappeared father to the remote island of Newfoundland, where she meets a mysterious fisherman.

 

History's Headlines

Dir: Jeff Lewis · 17 min · NL

Enigmatic storyteller Arthur Bank befriends a newspaper magnate and reinvents himself as a celebrated war hero, riding the press toward political fame — until the dead premier's daughter threatens to expose him. A sharp local drama about performance, power, and the art of self-invention.

 

Hangashore

Dir: Justin Oakey · 87 min · NL

Haunted by visions of her missing father, an Icelandic artist (Hera Hilmar) travels to a remote Newfoundland island, where she meets a mysterious fisherman (James Frecheville). Director Justin Oakey builds a moody, atmospheric thriller steeped in seafaring folklore and superstition, set against the stunning isolation of the province's coastline. "Hilmar and Frecheville are magnetic. A beautifully haunted experience," says Wonder Watchlist. Winner of Best Feature at Fog Fest and the DGC Ontario Award for Best Director at the Canadian Film Festival.
