On the new acquisitions, Acquisitions Manager Frances Harvey says \u201cThese were all titles that we had been tracking for a long time, having first seen a presentation of THE HERE AFTER at the first edition of the Polish Days at New Horizons\u2019 in 2012, whereas RAMS and BRIDGEND were both first seen as works in progress at G\u00f6teborg International Film Festival and we are delighted to be working again with Joachim Trier. I am thrilled that we will be introducing this wealth of Nordic talent to audiences in the UK and Ireland.<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

RAMS<\/span><\/i> and BRIDGEND <\/i>were two of the deals negotiated by Harvey with Jan Naszewski from New Europe Film Sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soda Pictures Managing Director Edward Fletcher negotiated the other two deals. LOUDER THAN BOMBS<\/i> with Tanja Meissner from Memento Films International and THE HERE AFTER with Susan Wendt from Trust Nordisk.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as a disturbing secret is revealed the three men are forced to confront their relationship and look at each other in a new light.<\/span><\/p>\n

RAMS<\/span><\/i> follows the story of <\/span>two estranged brothers who farm sheep on neighboring land, left to them by their father. When an outbreak of Scrapie threatens<\/span> to destroy their livelihood, the brothers must put differences aside and work together to save their flocks and the rare breed of sheep that has been in their family for generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starring <\/span>Hannah Murray, Josh O’Connor and Steven Waddington BRIDGEND<\/i> is a stark English-language thriller based on true events.
