Saturday, September 14 at 2pm FAMILY MATINEE Nana dir. Valerie Massadian, France, 2011, 35mm, 68 min.
Nan Goldin collaborator Valerie Massadian’ s directorial debut stars a four year old.“ There’ s not one word, one gesture— nothing— that I imposed on her. We played,” she told Craig Hubert of Interview Magazine. Toddler actor Kelyna Lecomte plays Nana, a girl abandoned by her mother on the outskirts of her grandfather’ s pig farm. Filmed with a voyeuristic distance, Nana unfolds in the allowed space as the character’ s isolation endows her own developing independence. Audiences are given an innocently intimate, contemplative glimpse of the world as Nana views it. Played with extraordinary composure, the character of Nana is a quiet delight to watch. Winner of the Best First Film prize at the Locarno Film Festival, this is a sweet, life-affirming faux-fairytale, simultaneously enchanting and elegiac.
Special discounted ticket price: $ 5 for everyone!
