War Sailor premiering in Malta on Sunday

War Sailor, the drama partly produced by a Maltese studio will be premiering at the Eden Cinemas on Sunday, with director Gunnar Vikene joining other cast and crew members for the film chosen as Norway’s film for the Oscars. 

The film's premiere will take place at the Eden Cinemas at 10am, with the screening taking place at 11am,  followed by a Q&A session with Vikene.

Another screening will be held in the evening, followed by another Q&A session.

Just five screenings will take place in November, also the month of European Film, an initiative of the European Film Academy in partnership with Europa Cinemas. 

Based on true events, War Sailor is a period drama that tells the story of how two Norwegian sailors try to survive when German submarines attack their merchant ship during the outbreak of World War II. 

Back in August, the film had been selected for screening at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival, and since then over 360,000 people have seen it in Norway.
