The organisers of
Arrow Video FrightFest Glasgow have announced that, despite continuing COVID-19 restrictions, the festival will return DIGITALLY this year to present a virtual six-pack of tasty titles; an extravaganza of the dark arts that will leave you stirred, shaken and shocked.
There will be six online presentations, including the UK premiere of Kyle Rankin’s controversial high school siege drama RUN HIDE FIGHT, starring Isabel May as a fiercely independent student taking on a quartet of invading shooters, and the UK premiere of OUT OF THIS WORLD (HORS DU MONDE), a disturbing, compelling study of obsession from brilliant new French director Marc Fouchard. It boasts a stunning performance by Kevin Mischel as a mentally-challenged musician turned Uber driver. A few years back Here Comes Hell, a Black & White mystery thriller, was a FrightFest Glasgow sensation, and THE WOMAN WITH LEOPARD SHOES (LA FEMME AUX CHAUSSURES LEOPARD) is another satisfying retro fix from first time
Tadrina Hocking.
Written by Marc Fouchard himself, the story revolves around Léo, a very shy man who has trouble communicating with others. Only music makes him feel alive and more open-minded. However, he cannot afford to live off his music, and so he works as a taxi driver and lives in his own car. One day, Léo picks up Amélie, a deaf dancer. He seems charmed by her, and Amélie is also attracted to him.
Produced by
