VFF - The Lone Killer & The Talk

THE TALK (Hila Cage Coppola)
THE LONE KILLER* (Danny Thykær)

From Denmark, the feature thriller THE LONE KILLER plunges into the tense aftermath of two terrorist attacks in Copenhagen. As chaos grips the city, the editor of the struggling Copenhagen Daily News seizes the chance to revive his paper with a headline that could secure its future—only to discover that the cost of chasing relevance can be devastating. A gripping exploration of ambition, legacy, and the moral price of survival in a fractured Europe.

Balancing global crisis with intimate truth, the short dramatic film THE TALK delivers a searing portrait of one Black parent’s difficult conversation with their child. What begins with tenderness soon reveals the deep scars of systemic racism, the ache of personal loss, and the ever-present fear carried by families of color.

Filmmakers in attendance for Q&A.

* In Danish, English, Hebrew, and Persian with English subtitles
