The French-Swedish feature film Sound of Noise will be one of seven films shown during Semaine Internationale de la Critique (International Critic's Week) in Cannes 2010. Founded in 1962, it's the oldest parallel competitive section of the Cannes Film Festival and has a long tradition of finding new talents, such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Ken Loach, Wong Kar Wai, Gaspar Noé and François Ozon.

Sound of Noise will also run for the Camera d'Or award, which no Swedish film before has been awarded.

About the film
A gang of eccentric drummers enacts a musical assault on the city, playing on anything but common instruments. Police officer Warnebring is put in charge of the strange case. But his chase of the serial musical terrorists will soon turn into a more personal vendetta.

Muliti-awarded directors Johannes Stjärne Nilsson and Ola Simonsson have directed a number of shorts and documentaries since 1995. Their work is widely acknowledged and has reached a wide audience all over the world through televison, film festivals, cinema and internet. Their short Music for one apartment and six drummers, honoured with over 30 international awards, was nominated for a Golden Palm in Cannes 2001.

Sound of Noise is their first feature film.
