Internationales Filmfest Oldenburg celebrating anniversary with a fun James Bond Spoof trailerThe festival runs 12 - 16 September 2018 see more festival trailers at our TRAILER PARK CHANNEL
At a press conference in Casablanca, the new trailer "From Oldenburg with Love" celebrated its premiere for the 25th Oldenburg International Film Festival. To mark the anniversary of the festival, a tongue-in-cheek reference was made to a genre of cinema that had its heyday in the 1960s, during the Cold War and the growing fear of atomic threat: the movie of the great arch-villains, between ingenious criminal energy and madness dreamed the dream of world domination. The trailer pays homage to the first Bond series film, "James Bond chasing Dr. No ". The festival received the rights of MGM to use excerpts from the said classic in its jubilee year. The film will also be presented as a special performance during the preliminary events. As in the last few years, the trailer was created with the support of the Berlin based Sychron, TrickWilk and Kinematograph 24/7. As an associate producer also acted the Oldenburg Amon Thein with his pessimistic film production. Torsten Neumann again co-directed Deborah Kara Unger, supported by cinematographer Irina Dragojevic - an experienced trio and well-rehearsed team in the production of the festival trailer. From 16.08.18 the trailer will be shown nationwide on more than 100 screens. Rated among the top 5 Film Festivals worldwide for Independent Films by American film critic Chris Gore in his esteemed 'Ultimate Film Festival Guide', and ranked »Top 25 Coolest Festivals in the World« by MovieMaker, Oldenburg has fostered its success with a strong commitment to innovative and independent filmmaking. Labelled ‘the European Sundance’ by Variety, Hollywood Reporter, and Screen International, amongst others, Oldenburg has evolved while preserving its intimate atmosphere and founding purpose: to celebrate and support the diverse voices and visions of independent filmmakers, to honor the creativity of the artists upon which the Festival depends, and to create a unique experience and inspiring meeting place for filmmakers, audiences, and media professionals. Additionally, in an effort to raise awareness and build bridges between worlds through the common language of film, Oldenburg is the only Film Festival in the world that annually screens part of its regular program to incarcerated individuals who share the experience with members of the general public in an actual high-security Prison environment, known as ‘The Alcatraz of the North’. In addition to supporting the discovery of new artists, Oldenburg has hosted German Premieres of films by such acclaimed filmmakers as Darren Aronofsky, Brian De Palma, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Polish, Johnnie To, Chan-wook Park, and Takeshi Kitano, amongst others. Guests of honor have included Jim McBride, Larry Clark, Philippe de Broca, Andrzej Zulawski, Ken Russell, Jerry Schatzberg, James Toback, Radley Metzger, Ted Kotcheff, George Armitage, Christophe Honoré, & Edward R. Pressman, who’ve all attended the festival for Retrospectives of their work.
