As part of IFFBOSTON’s ongoing 20th Anniversary Celebration, they’re bringing Joanna Hogg’s THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER to Boston area screens for the first time with a special screening at the Somerville Theatre. As a companion, we’ll also be showing both parts of THE SOUVENIR, Hogg’s previous collaboration with Tilda Swinton.
Returning to a hotel now haunted by its mysterious past, an artist (Tilda Swinton) and her elderly mother (also Tilda Swinton) confront long-buried secrets in their former family home.
PART I: A shy film student (Honor Swinton Byrne) falls into an intense relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy older man (Tom Burke), despite concern from her mother and friends.
PART II: After her turbulent relationship with an older man, Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) begins to deal with her complicated love for him and finds her voice while completing her graduation film.
Note: Tickets for Parts I & II of THE SOUVENIR can be purchased separately, or as a double feature at a special price.
