Hangashore is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Justin Oakey and slated for release in 2025. [1] The film stars Hera Hilmar as Vera, an Icelandic artist haunted by recurring nightmares about her missing father; she travels to Newfoundland in search of him, and becomes drawn into a relationship with Jack (James Frecheville), a local seal hunter. [2]
The film was announced as receiving funding from Telefilm Canada in 2023, [3] and entered production in spring 2024. [4]
Oakey described the film as stripping away the naturalism of his prior films to build an "ominous, almost feverish atmosphere". [4]
The film premiered at the 2025 Atlantic International Film Festival, and was the official selection of Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival, Windsor International Film Festival, Charlottetown Film Festival, Available Light Film Festival, and the Canadian Film Fest, among others.
