Welcome! Below is some information about this film and the Outer Banks Film Society.

The Promised Land (2023) [Denmark] (127 mins) 

A historical drama starring Mads Mikkelsen as poor soldier Ludvig Kahlen, who arrives in 1755 on the barren Jutland heath with a single goal: to follow the king's call to cultivate the land and thereby achieve wealth and honor himself. The official submission of Denmark for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 96th Academy Awards in 2024. Mikkelsen is probably the most well-known Danish actor in America; he played the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the critically acclaimed NBC series “Hannibal” from 2013 to 2015.

All films will be screened at Dare Arts in Manteo, unless otherwise specified. Doors will open at 6pm and films will start at 6:30pm. Discussion follows the screening. Seating is first come, first serve. The venue is accessible and has an elevator.

The Outer Banks Film Society was created to foster a community that appreciates the art of film. Unlike purchasing a ticket to go see a movie at the local theater, you join the Outer Banks Film Society through an annual or seasonal membership.
