Aftersun

media release: UK | 2022 | DCP | 99 min.

Director: Charlotte Wells

Cast: Paul Mescal, Frankie Corio, Celia Rowlson-Hall

Named Best Film of 2022 at Indiewire, Charlotte Wells’s incredibly moving film captures the tender relationship between a tween girl and her dad on vacation from Ireland at a Turkish resort. “An astonishing and devastating debut feature. It’s hard to find a critical language to account for the delicacy and intimacy of this movie. This is partly because Wells, with the unaffected precision of a lyric poet, is

very nearly reinventing the language of film, unlocking the medium’s often dormant potential to disclose inner worlds of consciousness and feeling” (The New York Times).

Admission free for all screenings, seating limited. No admission 15 minutes after scheduled start times. Please visit our website for a complete listing of programs and descriptions.
