Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“…taps into an endlessly fascinating, vibrant kind of cinema that is continuously alive to the present.”
Sight & Sound

French filmmaker Marie-Claude Treilhou perfectly captures the feeling of a “meh” night out in this stunning—yet woefully underseen—debut. A chief influence on Yann Gonzalez’s KNIFE + HEART, SIMONE BARBES OR VIRTUE finally answers the question, “What if Éric Rohmer made a movie about a lesbian who works at a porno theater?” Paired with contemporary filmmaker Jessica Dunn Rovinelli’s latest 35mm short, MARRIAGE STORY. Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell will join us for a discussion after the screening on Saturday, March 4.
