Eurocinema Invites Scandi Film Fans To Enter A Special Contest To Win A Once In A Lifetime Trip To Copenhagen

As part of its highly popular Scandinavian On Demand Film Festival, on demand movie channel Eurocinema (eurocinema.com) recently premiered the critically acclaimed Swedish film DEAR ALICE, marking its North American debut on television on your local cable or satellite provider.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Othman Karim, DEAR ALICE stars American actor Danny Glover (COLOR PURPLE, LETHAL WEAPON) and some of Sweden’s top names in film, including Tuva Novotny (EAT PRAY LOVE, SMALL SUSIE), and Regina Lund (THE LAKE). The critically successful, partly English spoken drama, tells the story of four very different lives and how their paths come to cross by a series of circumstances. During what seems to be just an ordinary day, these four people are making everyday decisions that at the moment seem to be trivial but that ultimately lead to a life changing and violently destructive end for all involved.
