Quick, how do you scream “Ayoko na!” in Norwegian?
You have a week to find out before you scream your guts out at this mini-film festival organized by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Manila to celebrate the 200th year of the signing of their constitution.
Because, you know, Norwegians don’t just make good salmon and wood. They also produce on-the-edge-of-your-seats horror flicks.
Expect these internatonally acclaimed movies at “Viking Screamfest”:
— Troll Hunter (2010), a dark fantasy film directed by André Øvredal, about trolls turned aggressive in the cold Norway mountains.
— Thale (2012), a supernatural horror film about a woman with a cow’s tail, directed and written by Aleksander L. Nordaas.
— Cold Prey (2006), a slasher film complete with a bunch of kids in an abandoned hotel, directed by Roar Uthaug.
For the hungry there’s barbecue, beer and, of course, Norwegian salmon for sale.
Viking Screamfest is on May 17, 6pm, at Kanto Artist Run Space, The Collective, 7274 Malugay St, Bgy San Antonio, Makati. Free. Event website.
