LAURA, OR SCENES FROM A COMMON WORLD / North American Premiere

This experimental film is a cinematic poem. It combines visceral physicality, lyrical poetry, and evocative cinematography to tell the story of one woman’s struggle to overcome her wounded past and her steps toward empathy. In this spare drama, inspired by Ovid’s Apollo and Daphne myth, Laura struggles to root herself in a foreign land and to embrace the quiet consequence of the common world around her.

Director Charles M. Pepiton and Director of Photography Wes Kline will attend the film screening.
