Year: 2025
Country: United Kingdom, United States
Language: English
Running Time: 119 Minutes
Synopsis: From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (THE WORLD TO COME, THE BRUTALIST) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (VOX LUX) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (THE BRUTALIST).

UPCOMING SELECTS SCREENING
ELEANOR THE GREAT
Director: Scarlett Johannson
Year: 2025
Country: USA
Language: English
Running Time: 98 Minutes
Synopsis: 94-year old Eleanor Morgenstein (Oscar nominee June Squibb, last seen in THELMA, HIFF Spring Showcase 2024) moves to New York City for a fresh start, after the loss of her best friend and roommate in a Florida retirement community. Making new friends in her nineties proves difficult. Longing for connection, she befriends a 19-year-old student; a blossoming friendship initiated by a “white lie” that eventually snowballs to a potential point of no return. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a tender, bitingly humorous, and uplifting portrait of aging, identity, and chosen family, anchored by a standout central performance by Squibb.
