New black comedy Driving Mum celebrates its World Premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival

Ursus Parvus, who are premiering their upcoming black comedy road trip movie at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, have released the new trailer and poster for Driving Mum. This film is one of the chosen '2022 Industry Selects' at TIFF! The film is directed by Hilmar Oddsson and stars Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson, Kristbjörg Kjeld, Hera Hilmar, and Tómas Lemarquis.

When Jon's mother, the single most dominant person in his life passes away, his anchor is gone. Compelled to honour her last wish, he takes on a journey to bring the body across Iceland to her home village for the final rest. As they travel on, Jon’s whole existence obtains a new meaning.

Ursus Parvus Producer, Hlin Johannesdottir, said "Both Hilmar Oddsson and myself feel delighted and honoured to have Driving Mum selected for the main competition at Black Nights festival and to have its world premiere in Tallinn. We had Estonian talent involved in the production and this will be a perfect venue for the film to start its journey to the audiences."

Brett Walker and partner Miguel Angel Govea, of alief, agree, "Driving Mum is a heart-wrenchingly funny cinematic feast -in exquisite black & white- that arthouse audiences are yearning and will feast upon. We are truly happy with this feel-good, late at life 'coming-of-age' tall tale."

Driving Mum celebrates its World Premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival on 19 November 2022.
