Simon Stone's Elsinore will serve as the closing film for the 34th Camerimage festival, the largest global event dedicated to cinematography. The event runs from Nov. 7 to Nov. 14, with the Stone-directed drama marking its final day.
Elsinore stars Andrew Scott as Ian Charleson, the Scottish actor known for Chariots of Fire. The narrative follows Charleson in the final days of his life, depicting his last stage performance of Hamlet before his death from AIDS. Mike Eley served as the cinematographer for the project.
The film, written by Stephen Beresford, recently premiered at Telluride and opened the BFI London Film Festival in October. Olivia Colman, Joe Locke, and Johnny Flynn also appear in the principal cast.
The festival's Golden Frog award will be decided among a competition slate that includes several major international productions. Project Hail Mary, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller with cinematography by Greig Fraser, is part of the lineup. Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, shot by Janusz Kamiński, also competes.
Martin McDonagh's Wild Horse Nine, photographed by Ben Davis, joins the field. Tony Gilroy's Behemoth!, shot by Damián García, and Andrey Zvyagintsev's Minotaur, captured by Mikhail Krichman, are additional entries.
May el-Toukhy's Woman Unknown, a Venice Film Festival winner shot by Jasper J. Spanning, is in the running. Paweł Pawlikowski's Fatherland, with photography by Lukasz Zal, and Hans Petter Moland's Growth of the Soil, shot by Oskar Dahlsbakken, round out the competition.
Volker Schlöndorff's Visitation, shot by Axel Schneppat, completes the slate of films vying for the festival's top prize.
