CPH:DOX Competitor, Apache Doc Tribute ‘Phantoms of the Sierra Madre’ Added to DR Sales Slate


The Norwegian doc and CPH:DOX main competition entry from ‘Raging Grannies’’ Havard Bustnes has landed at DR Sales.

In the film, established Danish screenwriter Lars K. Andersen (“The Sommerdahl Murders,” “Flame & Citron”) embarks on a quest to locate a disappeared Apache tribe in Mexico. His odyssey filmed by Bustnes is juxtaposed with rich archive material from Andersen’s childhood hero, Norwegian explorer Helge Ingstad, who himself set out on the same adventure in 1937. I felt this could be a great road movie, visually beautiful as well,” he says, mentioning the eventual key contribution from pedigreed cinematographer Lars Skree (“The Look of Silence,” “Putin’s Kiss”).
