Join the Cindependent Film Festival for Celine Sciamma's 2019 romantic drama, Portrait of a Lady on Fire. The screening will be preceded by a special presentation of the short film, Sister Wives, which won Best International Short at the 2024 Cindependent Film Festival!
Sister Wives (28min, drama) is a multi-layered love story that tells the tale of young women (Mia McKenna-Bruce and Louisa Connolly-Burnham) living in a strict, fundamentalist, polygamous society.
In Portrait of a Lady on Fire (121min, drama), Marianne (Noémie Merlant) must find a way to paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is resisting chattel marriage, by furtively observing her.
