SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

Monday, January 12 at 6:45: Sneak Preview, introduced by director Mascha Schilinski and cinematographer Fabian Gamper

Shortlisted for the Academy Awards, Schilinski’s transcendent drama unfolds in a remote farmhouse over the course of a turbulent century.  Fragments from a hundred years coalesce into a cinematic flood of memory centered on four adolescent girls from different eras—their desires and distress, their secrets and truths, their encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return.

Jury Prize Winner, Cannes Film Festival
