Polish-Swedish drama "Intruz" (English title: "The Here After") directed by Magnus von Horn was selected to be screened at the Directors' Fortnight festival in Cannes.
The film tells a story of John, who after having served time for murdering his girlfriend, tries to start a new life. However, the crime was not forgiven and his return triggers bad emotions among the local community.
Łukasz Żal, who also worked on "Ida", is the film's cinematographer.
The Directors' Fortnight is an independent section held in parallel to the Cannes Film Festival. It was started in 1969 by the French Directors' Guild after the events of May 1968 resulted in the cancellation of the Cannes festival as an act of solidarity with striking workers.
