Dafoe and Sehring Bring “Antichrist” to Toronto

Actor Willem Dafoe with IFC Entertainment president Jonathan Sehring Thursday night in Toronto attended the after-party following the North American premiere of Lars Von Trier’s controversial “Antichrist.” The moody, dark thriller offered an interesting contrast to the party (for those who actually went to the screening then to the party) with the sponsored venue’s upbeat club thump-a-thump music, scantily clad attendees and offers of free samples of various make up etc. for women (at least that seemed the intention). Dafoe hung out with IFCers and other guests in a roped off area in the VIP, then came out for a round of photos with Sehring when leaving. Friday morning he showed up early for a Q&A with Von Trier via satellite from Copenhagen. The Danish director was quite giddy and cracked jokes during the 50 minute chat with journalists and film fans in downtown Toronto.
