(2009)

Filmgate were asked to create the visual effects for Lars von Trier's highly anticipated new feature, "Antichrist". Produced by Zentropa in collaboration with Film i Väst, our work here at Filmgate consisted mostly of 2D compositing and enhancing shots.

No doubt, von Trier’s reputation for dealing with controversial topics will be proven if not surpassed in this film, as ”Antichrist” depics the director’s own take on anything that the general masses would consider taboo.

A dreamlike, graphic and surreal story unfolds as it keeps challenging the viewer’s eye and mind to the very last frame. We follow a married couple, played by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who after the tragic unexpected death of their young son retreat to a cabin in the woods. In doing so, they enter the unknown. What is this place, and what lures in the deep woods outside the cabin? Can they even trust each other?
