Famous Danish von Trier to direct new film

Two years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Danish film director and screenwriter Lars von Trier, 67, is working on a new film titled ‘After’, Kazinform News Agency reports.

Von Trier is both the screenwriter and director of the film, which has been granted 1.3 million Danish kroner ($192,000), by the Danish Film Institute. Zentropa Entertainment, a film company founded by von Trier, is to produce the movie.

Von Trier's last directed film was The House That Jack Built in 2018. In 2022, he continued The Kingdom Exodus series.

“I am 67 years old. I have Parkinson’s, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), and at the moment controlled alcoholism. With any luck, I should still have a few decent movies left in me,” Denmark’s von Trier noted.
