Between Faces and Phases
Sunday June 22nd 20:00 - 21:30 at Verdensteatret
This program brings together a bold mix of stories that delve into the emotions we often hide. From longing and loneliness to sisterly bonds and the silent weight of past trauma.
A group of students fall under the influence of a magnetic artist. A sister tries to face an unexpected pregnancy alone. Young women return to the places where love turned harmful. Others search for connection in dreams, in memories, or in the quiet corners of city life. Each film invites us to look a little deeper at ourselves and at each other.
The NUFF screenings are FREE!
We’ll have an intro before the beginning of the screening and a Q&A after.
