Arrow Video FrightFest is fast approaching; the annual event will once more return to its home in Cineworld’s Leicester Square for five days of ghosts, gore, and more. It’s the first time that the self-proclaimed FrightFest Family will be back under the same roof since Glasgow 2020 and the team have been hard at work selecting a range of titles to make the reunion extra special. In the countdown to the festival we’ll be sharing some exclusive interviews with those in front and behind the camera in the hopes of helping narrow down the viewing selection for people who will be attending.
Our latest interview is for the German language, hallucinatory, relationship drama, Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes. The film will screen to FrightFest audiences on Saturday morning as part of the Main Screen programme. The main screen is of course the IMAX screen, making this the biggest and best screen to watch what is a very visually stimulating film. For Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes, it is best to go in as blind as possible, sit back, and let the film wash over you. We will say that there is more to the film than first meets the eye as the story morphs and evolves as it progresses.
The brain behind this startling movie is Austrian / Sri Lankan painter and director, Kevin Kopacka. As Dawn Behind the Eyes offers the viewer such a unique viewing journey we were thrilled to be able to speak to Kopacka before the London screening to get more information about his inspirations and what he hopes the FrightFest crowd will make of it.
Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes will receive its UK premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest on Saturday 28th August 2021. Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes will arrive in select UK cinemas on 2nd December 2022. The film will arrive on physical media in February 2023.
