In Mascha Schilinski’s transcendent SOUND OF FALLING, fragments from a hundred years in one farmhouse coalesce into a cinematic flood of memory.
Germany’s shortlisted Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards® tracks the lives of four adolescent girls (Alma, Erika, Angelika, Lenka) across the last century – their desires and distress, their secrets and truths, their encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return. Though separated by time, far-reaching resonances emerge as echoes of experience linger.
"It is a complex puzzle box, powered by the sensory and sensual, and a strong statement of intent from a bright spark in the German filmmaking scene." Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
