DIRECTOR
This is the feature film debut from director Bobbie Peers. His short film SNIFFER won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006. Inspired bytrue events, THE DISAPPEARING ILLUSIONIST is set in a magical and poetic landscape. The story challenges our perception of reality; who we are when we are present and who we are when we are gone.
“The film can be compared to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, but with a Norwegian wintery charm that will fascinate international audiences.”
