Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

BULLHEAD, a thriller about gangsters and farmers, is set against the backdrop of the Belgium cattle hormone mafia. Young Limburg cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille is approached by an unscrupulous veterinarian to make a shady deal with a notorious West-Flemish beef trader. But the assassination of a federal policeman, and an unexpected confrontation with a mysterious secret from Jacky?s past, set in motion a chain of events with far-reaching consequences. Filmmaker Roskam says about his debut film. "It is a film about people being driven to extremes. It is not about good or evil, but about how seemingly small events can sometimes have huge consequences for the people involved. Their fate is also their destiny."
