“Laura does not exist. Is that understood?” Strike Media has released an American trailer for a Greek indie comedy titled In the Strange Pursuit of Laura Durand. It premiered in 2019 at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and played at a lot of other festivals, including Athens, Sarajevo, Red Rock, Sunscreen and Thessaloniki. It now opens in the United States from January 2022. Two men living in Athens decide to start the hunt for Laura Durand, a porn star from the 90s, who mysteriously disappeared several years ago. “An award-winning and fun road movie, filled with a fantastic and eclectic soundtrack, In the Strange Pursuit of Laura Durand is a feelgood, touching, original story that stays with you long after watching. “The cast includes Makis Papadimitriou, Michalis Sarantis, Anna Kalaitzidou, Danis Katranidis, Ivonni Maltezou, Alexandros Logothetis, and Nikos Hatzopoulos. There’s a howling bad English voiceover in this trailer, but the rest of the footage actually looks good. An insanely fun mix of genres and humor.

Antonis and Christos are down on their luck, disconnected from modern society and survive mainly on Christos’ unemployment benefits. Their only escape in life is their passion for music and their 8-bit band, Speed_28. The two friends are united by their common platonic love interest, Laura Durand, a porn star from the 1990s who mysteriously disappeared a few years before. As the friends’ lives go from bad to worse, they decide it’s time to start the hunt for Laura Durand. In the Strange Pursuit of Laura Durand, originally known as The hunt for Laura Durand in Greek, is directed by the Greek filmmaker Dimitris Bavellas, director of the films Positive stories and Runaway Day previously, as well as a pair of shorts. The script is written by Dimitris Bavellas and Katerina Kleitsioti. This one originally premiered at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2019 a few years ago. Strike Media will debut In the Strange Pursuit of Laura Durand directly to VOD in the United States from January 17, 2022 early next year. Who is interested?
