We’ve got the first look at a teaser poster (designed by Advista Studio) for FERINE, which world-premieres at this year’s 30th Fantasia International Film Festival, running July 16-August 2 in Montreal. Written and directed by Andrea Corsini, based on his same-titled short film, it also features Caroline Goodall and Paola Lavini, and boasts a score by veteran genre composer Pino Donaggio. The synopsis: “Irene [Bracken] is a wealthy, refined art collector who sees her life turned upside down by a tragic event that awakens a primal, uncontrollable instinct inside of her. Soon after, this new nature takes hold and destroys her privileged existence. Dama [Goodall] is a mysterious trafficker of exotic predators who is hunting a specimen that has escaped captivity when she discovers something unexpected: Irene. In her, she sees a new, irresistibly dangerous predator. A dark fate unites the two women, dragging them both toward an inevitable confrontation.”
