Amanda

Friday, July 7 - Thursday, August 3, 2023

The Friday, July 7 Q&A will be moderated by film critic Jourdain Searles, and the Saturday, July 8 Q&A will be moderated by Film/Culture writer Emma Stefansky.

Born into an upper-class family with a doting mother who foots the bill for her indolent lifestyle, 24-year-old combative Amanda (emerging talent Benedetta Porcaroli) searches for boyfriends but only finds misfits who are repelled by her intensity. She longs for connection but has never had a friend of her own… until she discovers a long lost childhood bond, spurring a mission to convince another recluse that they are still best friends. A playful, provocative feature debut from writer-director Carolina Cavalli.
