Fantastic Fest: 'Private Eye'

Fantastic Fest: 'George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead'

Fantastic Fest: ‘Dirty Mind’
Following last year’s FF entry Left Bank, this is part two in writer/director’s Pieter Van Hees planned trilogy called “Anatomy of Love and Pain” – and yup, the two states are linked for a reason.
