Event Description
Event type: All Ages
The most acclaimed and widely honoured feature debut by a Canadian director in many years, this extraordinary film by Sophy Romvari charts a very personal pathway between the past and the present. Drawing closely from her own experience growing up on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Romvari captures the daily life of a Hungarian-Canadian family as seen from the perspective of its youngest member, eight-year-old Sasha (Eylul Guven). She’s too young to fully understand a growing crisis that will have a profound effect on them all, leaving a mystery that must be investigated years later. Just as she has done in her remarkable body of shorts, Romvari blurs the boundaries between documentary and fiction to create a work that’s ultimately as formally inventive as it is emotionally affecting. The winner of prizes at TIFF, VIFF and Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal, it’s simply not to be missed.
