Menteur (Liar)

From its curt and simple starting point, the debut feature from shorts director Geens (see above) gradually whips itself up into a whirlwind, sucking in more and more characters. Unemployed Antoine diligently studies books on how to turn fear into success, but his hopes of finding work are minimal. He starts to lose all sense of reality and gets progressively more entangled in a web of absurd lies. Tonight’s premiere will be followed by a discussion on how to make the move from shorts to features from a panel of film-makers and producers.
