Cold Cases: The Department Q Trilogy and the New Nordic Noir

Friday, June 17 - Thursday, June 23, 2016

“Cold Cases: The Department Q Trilogy and the New Nordic Noir,” a 15-film survey of twenty years of crime films from Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, is presented Friday, June 17 through Thursday, June 23 at IFC Center. Police procedurals, grisly mysteries and underworld thrillers from the Nordic region have become a global phenomenon over the past two decades—not only in film, but also in bestselling novels and popular TV series such as The Killing and The Bridge (both of which have inspired US remakes). To kick off the summer, IFC Center takes a closer look at the chilling movies from the region that have fascinated critics and audiences around the world. The program is anchored by the US theatrical premiere engagement of THE DEPARTMENT Q Trilogy—THE KEEPER OF LOST CAUSES, THE ABSENT ONE and A CONSPIRACY OF FAITH, three Danish thrillers adapted from the New York Times’ bestsellers by Jussi Adler-Olsen, all blockbusters domestically, written by Nikolaj Arcel (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and writer-director of the Academy Award-nominated A Royal Affair), and directed by Mikkel Nørgaard (Klown, TV’s Borgen) and Hans Petter Moland (Zero Kelvin, Aberdeen, A Somewhat Gentle Man).
