The Victoria Film Festival is set to mark its 30th anniversary with a theatrical opening night featuring acclaimed director Atom Egoyan’s latest masterpiece, “Seven Veils.”
Set against the backdrop of Richard Strauss’ opera “Salome”, the film unfolds an emotional exploration of trauma, power dynamics and the complexity of relationships. In the film, the opera’s director Jeanine (Amanda Seyfried) is thrust into the daunting task of remounting her recently deceased mentor and ex-lover’s infamous, sexually-charged production.
