On September 26, the DGA Special Projects Committee Global Cinema Series screened a film from Denmark, Director Gustav Möller’s The Guilty.
Möller’s film tells the story of a police officer assigned alarm dispatch duty, who answers an emergency call from a kidnapped woman. When she is suddenly disconnected, he enters a race against time to save her with the phone as his only tool.
The Guilty won the World Cinema – Dramatic Audience Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, as well as the Best Director Award at the 2018 Seattle International Film Festival.
Following the screening in the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, Möller discussed the challenges of making The Guilty in a conversation moderated by Global Cinema Subcommittee Chair Victoria Hochberg (The Chris Isaak Show).
The Guilty is Möller’s feature directorial debut.
