Co-presented with Villa Albertine and Mill Valley Film Festival

Novelist, screenwriter and director Christine Angot joins Zoë Elton, artistic director for the Mill Valley Film Festival, to present a special screening of A Family (dir. Angot, 2024).

This filmic journey explores the unspoken reasons why such acts went unchallenged, examines the role of her father,  and questions the societal and personal implications of openly confronting the truth both then and now. Film audio in French with English subtitles. $15
