Icon Film Distribution to Release Sundance Hit 'Beasts of the Southern Wild'


Icon Film Distribution is very proud to announce that it will release the triumph of this year's Sundance Film Festival, Beasts of the Southern Wild, in Australian cinemas later this year. Directed and co-written by first-time filmmaker Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild continues to garner critical acclaim after winning the Grand Jury Prize for Drama at Sundance.

There has been no official release date, but Icon have announced that that it will be in the second half of 2012. Can we also expect it to play at the Sydney and Melbourne International Film Festivals?

Beasts of the Southern Wild tells the story of Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, who lives with her father, Wink, in "the bathtub", a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares Hushpuppy for the unravelling of the Universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her - and when he is struck by a mysterious illness and mildly apocalyptic events begin to play havoc on nature - Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother, and is forced to comprehend her place in the universe.

  7. Tartes de Limão e Tangerina, or Lemon and Tangerine Tarts, are a delightful Portuguese dessert that combines the zesty freshness of lemons and the sweet tang of tangerines. These tarts are known for their vibrant flavors and a perfect balance between tartness and sweetness. The citrusy custard filling is harmoniously set within a crisp, buttery pastry crust, making each bite a burst of sunshine. Often garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a tangerine twist, these tarts are a true celebration of Portugal's culinary artistry, bringing a touch of Mediterranean brightness to dessert lovers' palates. virginia uncontested divorce laws
