Magnus von Horn was born in Sweden and gratuated from the Polish National Film School in Łódź. He is going to describe the project’s genesis and how his feature debut ended up in Cannes. Mariusz Włodarski will share his experiences with working on the project, his role as a producer in the film’s success and marketing strategy of the movie.
The Here Afteris a fruit of the friendship between Magnus and Mariusz who started working together during their studies, getting to know each other and each other’s working methods. The debut was supported by Madeleine Ekman who joined the friendship, adding her energy and optimism. Together they created a one of a kind Polish-Swedish team.
Credit goes as well to the cinematographer of Academy-winning film Ida, Łukasz Żal. The Here After will be screened in two dozen top film festivals around the world and will be released in a number of territories, including France and UK, thus becoming the best internationally acclaimed Polish film production of 2015 (besides Małgośka Szumowska’s Body).
The Hereafter is based on a true story and starts when 17-years-old John returns home to his father after serving time in prison. He is looking forward to start his life afresh. However in the local community, his crime is neither forgotten nor forgiven. Unable to leave the past behind, he decides to confront it.
