Join us in the microcinema for the utterly gorgeous bleak beauty of Mascha Schilinski’s meditative and transcendent Sound of Falling. Fragments from a hundred years in one farmhouse coalesce into a cinematic flood of memory with exquisite painterly cinematography and expertly disquieting sound design. 

This Cannes Jury Prize-winning masterpiece tracks the lives of four adolescent girls (Alma, Erika, Angelika, Lenka) across the last century – their desires and distress, their secrets and truths, their encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return. Though separated by time, far-reaching resonances emerge as echoes of experience linger.

Sensual and sensory, this awe-inducing Cannes prizewinner invites audiences to witness an eternal summer, a constant now, and ask: what is looking back at us from the past – or perhaps even from the future?
