The 27th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (Psiff) will launch on January 1 with Klaus Härö’s Finnish Golden Globe nominee and shortlisted foreign-language Oscar hopeful The Fencer.
The festival’s closing night film on January 10 is the Us premiere of Jeremy Sims’ Last Cab To Darwin.
“The Fencer is the ideal opener for Palm Springs – not just because it is a beautifully made film, and a crowd-pleaser, but also because Finnish director Klaus Härö has become a festival favourite over the years,” said artistic director Helen du Toit.
