If you’re already experiencing The Last of Us withdrawals after the finale, let Screambox fill the post-apocalyptic void in your life with The Island.
Known internationally as Sløborn, the series combines elements of disaster thriller, coming-of-age drama, dystopian sci-fi, and survival horror. The German-Danish co-production was created by filmmaker Christian Alvart, who directed the genre films Pandorum, Case 39, and Antibodies before creating Netflix’s Dogs of Berlin.
It’s never been easy to be a teenager, but it’s particularly difficult for Gen Z, who are doomed to reckon with fears of the future — or lack thereof. As 15-year-old Evelin Kern (Emily Kusche) puts it in The Island‘s opening voice over, “Ever since I can remember, the world has been ending. Species extinction, deforestation, economic crises, environmental pollution, terrorism, and climate change. Happy days. Somewhere there is always the next crisis, the next war, and mankind has...

How far does your faith stretch? If you’ve never considered your answer to that question, I highly recommend watching Katrin Gebbe’s Nothing Bad Can Happen. The writer and director’s feature-film debut is a powerfully poignant meditation on that very question. This recommendation, however, comes with a warning of great caution. You are likely to be offended, but this is perfectly fine.
This German film’s original title is “Tore tanzt,” which translates in English to “Tore dances.” Tore, being the film’s central character, is played by Julius Feldmeier. Tore is a pale, lanky teenager who somewhat resembles Napoleon Dynamite. In an effort to find meaning and purpose in his life, Tore joins a religious group in Hamburg, Germany who refer to themselves as The Jesus Freaks. Tore is perfectly at home amidst the group, but it is apparent he is truly a lone sheep existing within a pack of wolves.

Having faith is easy, but maintaining that bond with and belief in a higher being is where the real test lies. And it's a cinematic theme that's almost as old as the medium itself, but writer/director Katrine Gebbe finds a fresh spin on it with "Nothing Bad Can Happen." Debuting at the Cannes Film Festival last in year in the Un Certain Regard category, it marked a promising start for the director's first feature, and now it's coming stateside for those intrigued by thrillers underscored by big ideas. Based on a true story, and starring Julius Feldmeier, Sascha Alexander Gersak, Annika Kuhl, Swantje Kohlhof, Til Theinert, Daniel Michel, and Nadine Boske, "Nothing Bad Can Happen" tells the tale of young Christian punk Tore, who falls into living with a dysfunctional family. And it's here where the trouble begins, when the man of the house initiates a series of games,...

Another straight week of Hollywood and international films has wrapped up in Los Angeles, as AFI Fest 2013 drew to a close yesterday and announced its slate of juried and audience prizes. The selection this year had its share of Oscar-season glamour—“Saving Mr. Banks,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” and “Inside Llewyn Davis” all received gala screenings—but when it came time for the festival prizes, it was new, small-scale works from directors Clio Barnard and Katrin Gebbe that really impressed. Gebbe’s debut feature, the drama “Nothing Bad Can Happen,” took home the New Auteurs critics award—celebrating the work of first and second-time feature filmmakers worldwide. Following the true story of a homeless Christian teenager’s adoption by an abusive German family, the film stars Annika Kuhl, Daniel Michel, and Sascha A. Gersak, and initially premiered at Cannes in Un Certain Regard. Drafthouse Films bought the distribution rights back in May,...

"It's an unpleasant film with a noble message," is how a friend described the new German film Nothing Bad Can Happen to me before I watched it, and not only did I agree with the man's assessment -- I found it one of the most compelling and quietly unsettling thrillers in quite some time. Incidentally, that man was Tim League, whose Drafthouse Films acquired the U.S. rights to Nothing Bad Can Happen about a week later. That's called putting your money where your mouth is.
A devious and slyly intelligent psychological thriller about the value of faith versus the power of nihilism, Nothing Bad Can Happen is about an aimless young religious zealot who, through a strange series of events, finds himself living with a "normal" suburban family -- a family that clearly does not share his religious beliefs. At first young Tore (Julian Felmeier) butts heads with patriarch...

“Why would I go to London?! No way!”
A wry chuckle greeted this on-screen outburst during my first public screening of the 54th BFI London Film Festival. I may have already sat through two and a half weeks of press screenings, but in that moment I knew the energy had changed now the festival had kicked into gear. Without the abundance of eagerly-awaited premieres and the bidding wars that come with them, Britain's premiere film festival is fuelled mostly by a pure love of the art of film. It’s my fourth festival, my second as a press delegate (follow the ‘London Film Festival’ tag to delve into last year’s coverage), and my first as a resident Londoner, so it’s a strikingly different experience for me.

#7. Blessed Events Director: Isabelle SteverCast: Annika Kuhl, Stefan Rudolf Distributor: Rights Available. Buzz: Tiff have the world premiere here from a filmmaker who might not be as well known as some of the other German filmmaker counterparts (e.g. Fatih Akin, Tom Tykwer, Hans Weingartner) that were part of the Germany 09: 13 Short Films About the State of the Nation. I'm liking some of the ideas that are being explored in Stever's sophomore film, the film's trailer certainly has a quirky vibe to it. The Gist: 37 year-old Simone decides to go out alone on New Year’s Eve. The next morning, she wakes up next to a stranger, and a few weeks later discovers that she’s pregnant. When she runs into the stranger again she is surprised by his reaction.
