IMDB ‘The Fencer’ update

My IMDB page has been updated to include the Finnish movie ‘The Fencer’ as a “Special Thanks” for backing the film in their promotion campaign. ‘The Fencer’ was the first ever Finnish film to be nominated for a Golden Globe and to be shortlisted for an Oscar. The film is: “Fleeing from the Russian secret police because of his controversial past, a young Estonian fencer named Endel is forced to return to his homeland, where he begins to train a group of young children in the art of fencing. The past however catches up with him and Endel has to choose between letting his students down or putting his life in danger. The movie is partially based on the real life story of an Estonian fencer Endel Nelis (1925-1993)” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2534634/). While nominated, it sadly did not win the Golden Globe and did not make the final cut for the Oscars, but still it was very exciting to see a Finnish film make it that far!
