Violent

Written, directed, shot and scored in its entirety by one of Canada’s youngest groups of adept creatives -- all of whom are still in their twenties -- the Canadian film VIOLENT is the astonishing debut feature from Amazing Factory Productions. Driven by the stunning visuals of the Norwegian landscape and a powerful original score, VIOLENT centres on a young woman, Dagny, and her last memories of the five people who loved her most, vividly recalled during a catastrophic event. The film opens with this event, which ultimately causes her death. The story then weaves gracefully through separate character-based chapters, providing glimpses into the lifelong friendship with a young sister, the increasingly ominous interactions with a seemingly benevolent family friend, and the moving wisdom of a beloved grandfather. Dagny’s memories are intertwined with raw and beautiful interpretations of how she is experiencing death.
