Sound Of Falling

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.

Sensual and sensory, this awe-inducing Cannes prizewinner invites audiences to witness an eternal summer, a constant now, and ask: what is looking back at us from the past – or perhaps even from the future?

“One of the most fascinating and powerful cinematic experiences of the year.” – Olga Artemyeva. ScreenAnarchy

“Visually articulate and trading in broad, powerful sentiments regarding identity and womanhood, Sound of Falling is like a hypnotic work of art you can’t look away from.” – Calum Cooper, Cinerama Film

“The writing is pitch-perfect, eschewing explanation and granting the audience the rarest of cinematic pleasures: the permission to be immersed without a lecture, the quiet intelligence that invites empathy without virtue signaling.” – Daniel Jonah Wolpert, NPR
