Produced at the National Film School of Denmark as a graduation project by director Milad Alami, the half hour short Nothing Can Touch Me is already stirring up controversy months before its June debut.
Addressing the issue of high school shootings, the film has been protested by several high school administrators around Copenhagen due to its sensitive subject matter but says the director, "I am not interested in the violence, but solely on the main character's struggle to understand why this has happened." It's an interesting approach and one handled with what certainly appears to be the right blend of tension and sensitivity in the just-released trailer.
