Be Still, My Soul.

23 min

WORLD PREMIERE Shot over five years, this intimate portrait follows Kelly, a woman in the South Bronx who works at a harm reduction clinic while self-medicating childhood trauma through heroin and alcohol. With no narration and sparse dialogue, the film finds poetry in the everyday. – Murtada Elfadl

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Simon Cave and protagonist Kelly.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
