Returning with their heavily anticipated sophomore feature, and English language debut, filmed outside of Montreal almost one year back, Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala‘s The Lodge (read our review) was a primo selection among Sundance Film Festival’s Midnight section. Excellent production design, this swell looking (DP Thimios Bakatakis) and sounding (Daniel Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans) psychological thriller cocktail is one part cabin fever episode and part addiction drama packaged with occult-like tweaks. Both filmmakers and cast & crew with Riley Keough were on hand for the premiere at the Library.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis
The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
