Québec Film "FOR THE LOVE OF POE" has its world premiere in MontrealThe feature-film will be presented in two distinct original versions: English and French, a rare event.
FOR THE LOVE OF POE, produced written, directed and starring Nils Oliveto, will be presented in world premiere at the Montreal World Films Festival (MWFF) on August 30 at 18h45.
The film, screened separately in a French original version (''Pour l'Amour de Poe'') and also in an English original version, will turn out to be a rare event at the MWFF for a feature-project presented in two different languages since its beginnings in 1977. This ambitious project is the result of a solid collaboration among perfectly bilingual actors.
Shot in the greater Montreal area, FOR THE LOVE OF POE tells the story of Martin Skald (Nils Oliveto), an ex-convict and a beloved fan of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry. Immediately following his release from prison, he is commissioned by a world-class smuggler (Serge Patry) to find three artifacts with supposedly supernatural powers dating back from Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Incas in the 1500's.
FOR THE LOVE OF POE is a modern day poetic-suspense which extracts, from the words of the famous poet, the deepest fear of a man suffocating from paranoia and delusions in direct connection with his past actions.
Nils Oliveto is also a professor in health and physical education at Lionel-Groulx College in St-Thérèse. A former student-athlete on scholarship in the United States, he started studying acting and screenwriting in parallel with his graduate degree studies in exercise physiology at the University of Oklahoma.He continued studying his craft and acting career in Los Angeles with top TV and film actors. Through his production company HAMMERMAN FILMS, Nils has produced, wrote, directed and starred in several productions that were featured in domestic and international film festivals.
Screenings for ''For the Love of Poe'' will take place August 30 (World Premiere-English version), August 31 (World Premiere-French version), and September 1 (English version) at the Quartier Latin Cinéma Cineplex Odéon. 27.08.2014 | The Montreal World Film Festival's blog Cat. : FILM
