Graham Swon’s intimate, suspenseful study unfolds through an elderly woman’s recollection of a single summer night. On a hot evening in 1996, five teenage girls gather in a suburban house and exchange increasingly unsettling tales. Shot in lingering long takes that favor faces and silence, the film keeps terror off-screen and lets the viewer assemble the missing images. A meditation on memory, the power of storytelling and collective imagination, it trades explicit shock for atmospheric dread, textures and uncanny rhythms.
The screening will be followed by a video discussion with director Graham Swon!
