The BEASTS are coming

Acclaimed Director Benh Zeitlin is confirmed to attend this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival in August and then travel to Sydney in support of his debut feature, the Cannes and Sundance award winning BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD.

 

The critically acclaimed BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD has not only garnered top honours on the festival circuit this year - winning the Grand Jury Prize (US Dramatic) at Sundance and the Camera d’Or and FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes - but it has also enjoyed enormous success in the US, including an opening week screen average of $55,228.

 

Zeitlin (whose credits on the film not only include Director, but also Co-Writer and Composer) has created with BEASTS a truly original story and wondrous world, one which Rolling Stone called “A spellbinding movie not to be missed... BEASTS is some kind of miracle.” Make sure you don’t miss it at the Melbourne International Film Festival or at a cinema near you from 13 September 2012.
