Disappearing Act V, a European Film Festival in New York will be showing the Norwegian film "The Almost Man" ("Mer eller mindre mann"), directed by Martin Lund on Monday, April 15 at 7:00 pm, followed by Q&A with Lund. Norwegian screenwriter and director Martin Lund's feature film debut which he wrote, premiered in competition at the 48th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2012, was screened at the 36th Gothenburg International Film Festival in 2013, was shot on location in the municipality of Lørenskog in Norway and is a Norwegian production which was produced by Norwegian producer Ruben Thorkildsen. It tells the story about a 35-year-old man named Henrik Sandvik who moves in to a new house with his pregnant girlfriend Tone.
Finely and subtly directed by Norwegian filmmaker Martin Lund, this quietly paced fictional tale which is narrated mostly from the protagonist's point of view, draws a rare portrayal of a man's relationship with his girlfriend and way of handling becoming a father and letting go of the part of him that still wishes to be wild and free.
Disappearing Act V, European Film Festival in New York, features film screenings in three prestigious venues, with opening night at the IFC Center on Wednesday, April 10 and a special screening on April 18; screenings at Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) from April 19-21; and screenings at the digital cinema at Bohemian National Hall from April 11-20.
