Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg’s “Max Manus” will have its international première at a gala screening during the 34th Toronto Film Fest, which runs between Sep 10-19.
Co-director Cameron Bailey has confirmed the presentation will take place during the last weekend of the festival, ”which will guarantee a full, enthusiastic house.” Norwegian actor Aksel Hennie, who plays the lead, and German actor Ken Duken will attend.
Produced by John M Jacobsen and Sveinung Golimo for Filmkameratene, the World War II epic has exceeded 1.2 million admissions domestically, to become the best-grossing Norwegian feature for the last 30 years.

Recently it received five Kanon awards from the Norwegian film industry at Kosmorama Film Festival in Trondheim.
