The Forbidden Door

Saturday, June 27 - Sunday, June 28, 2009

Joko Anwar (director of last year’s award-winning festival hit, KALA) is one of Indonesia’s most popular directors, but the deep evil of FORBIDDEN DOOR split audiences: half watched it in stunned horror while the other half ran screaming from the theater. Imagine a 19th century gothic novel directed by David Lynch from storyboards by Hitchcock. Truly bizarre and terrifying, don’t look for any help. Once you step through the forbidden door, you’re on your own.
