Dead Talents Society (mandarin OmeU) // Fantasy Filmfest White Nights // Deutschlandpremiere

In the organizer's words:


German premiere
Dead Talents Society

Anyone familiar with haunted movies knows that ghosts want to be alive again, protect their sanctuary, take revenge or all of the above. But no way! In reality, they are competing for the "Golden Ghost Award", the award for the dead who most effectively shock the living. A once spectacular demise, a bloodcurdling backstory and a perfect sense for scary moments are essential for this. Absolute entertainers in the afterlife are the old-fashioned diva Catherine and her protégé, the scheming Jessica. But the next generation is already lurking! But first the aspirants have to go through a tough audition.

It is pure pleasure to see the ingenuity with which every type of ghost movie is turned inside out here. In view of the sheer mass of clever details, you almost forget to laugh - and vice versa. At the same time, the film delivers a heartfelt reflection on the value of remembering and letting go.
