Hunters on a White Field

“[An] intimate and gorgeous study of unchecked and wild male ego”—on November 12, see the Swedish suspense drama Hunters on a White Field in New Nordic Cinema! Director Sarah Gyllenstierna will be present for a film talk and a Q&A.

Three men—Alex, Henrik, and Gregor—take an extended weekend hunting trip, where an initial spell of hunting success sharpens their instincts and stirs a sense of rivalry. But one day all animals vanish without a trace. As the forest turns eerily quiet, the men become obsessed with the idea that the hunt must continue… Based on the bestselling 1986 novel by Mats Wägeus. (Jakt på ett vitt fält, dir.

“Sarah Gyllenstierna navigates the film’s journey from its comfortable setup into much darker, suspenseful terrain, building a provocative, foreboding atmosphere where anything can happen” (ScreenAnarchy)
