Frontman De Nits composes the film score

This weekend, the Norwegian-Dutch co-production BLIND was awarded the Screenwriting Award at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The feature film debut of Norwegian Eskil Vogt had its world premiere in the World Cinema Dramatic section of the festival and will have its European premiere in early February in the Panorama program of the Berlin Film Festival.

The music for the Norwegian-language film was composed by The Nits frontman Henk Hofstede. Producer Derk-Jan Warrink: 'The score aligns seamlessly with the oppressive atmosphere of the film. It is wonderful that the Netherlands Film Fund is offering Henk Hofstede and us the opportunity to participate in such a beautiful international project. The selection of BLIND for Sundance and the Berlinale is the icing on the cake.'

Director Eskil Vogt made a name for himself as a screenwriter for Joachim Trier (Oslo August 31st, Reprise). He also wrote the screenplay for his directorial debut, BLIND. The film tells the story of Ingrid, who has just lost her eyesight and retreats into her apartment. There, alone with her husband and her thoughts, her deepest fears and repressed fantasies soon take over.

BLIND is produced by Motlys Film (Norway) and Lemming Film and was made with the support of the Netherlands Film Fund. Distributor Cinéart will bring the film to Dutch cinemas in the autumn of 2014.
