Mother Creature

29 min

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE A daughter confronts the monster of her childhood in this deeply personal, inventive portrait of her mother’s mental illness. With bold visual choices and an imaginative approach to storytelling, an elusive state of mind becomes vividly cinematic. An ambitious and singular short that lingers long after it ends. – Murtada Elfadl

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Maria Tórgarð and producer Gustav Ahnelöv.
