Hangashore


Hangashore is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Justin Oakey and slated for release in 2025. The film stars Hera Hilmar as Vera, an Icelandic artist haunted by recurring nightmares about her missing father; she travels to Newfoundland in search of him, and becomes drawn into a relationship with Jack, a local seal hunter.

Production

The film was announced as receiving funding from Telefilm Canada in 2023, and entered production in spring 2024.
Oakey described the film as stripping away the naturalism of his prior films to build an "ominous, almost feverish atmosphere".

Release

The film is slated to premiere at the 2025 Atlantic International Film Festival.
