TrustNordisk announced today that the Danish crime thriller Nordvest (Northwest) would have its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival (April 17th through 28th).

Directed by Michael Noer from an original screenplay co-written with Rasmus Heisterberg, the film stars Gustav Dyekjær Giese and his brother Oscar Dyekjær Giese playing brothers struggling to make ends meet by selling stolen goods to one of the neighborhood pack leaders in Nordvest, one of the most impoverished multi-ethnic areas of Copenhagen. When organized crime hits the area, the hierarchy of the neighborhood shifts and Casper is offered a chance to climb the ranks. Soon he's hurled into a world of drugs, violence and prostitution and as things escalate his childhood playground becomes a battlefield. Consequently Casper finds himself and his family dead center in a conflict that threatens to destroy them.
