At the heart of today’s program is a single insight: those we try to silence always end up speaking out.
At 1:30 pm (Ciné Utopia), Sophie Hyde‘s Jimpa will gently and precisely introduce the theme with an autobiographical film about a queer family spanning three generations. At 4 pm (Ciné Utopia), Cutting Through Rocks by Sara Khaki and Mohammadreza Eyni recounts women’s struggle for resistance in the heart of the Iranian countryside. The screening will be followed by a discussion with experts, in partnership with CinéONU.
At 6:30 pm (Ciné Utopia), Mailin returns, again in the presence of director María Silvia Esteve: eight years of filming to accompany an Argentine woman seeking to recover her memory of fifteen years of abuse committed by a priest.
And to finish on a high note, head to Kinepolis Kirchberg at 6 pm for the premiere of The Wolf, the Fox and the Leopard: a philosophical fable by David Verbeek about a young girl raised by wolves, discovered by a couple who try to “civilize” her on an abandoned oil rig. A Luxembourg co-production presented in the presence of actress Marie Jung.
