ACFNY supported | film sreening: BEATRIX

April 1 | 6:30PM

Milena Czernovsky and Lilith Kraxner will be visiting New York City to present their first feature film BEATRIX at Lincoln Center and Roxy Theatre. After the screening, Czernovsky and Kraxner will be present for a Q & A.

ABOUT THE FILM

A young woman explores a suburban house alone, eating, watching television, rooting through cupboards, trying on clothes, feeding a stray cat. Through these mundane activities, shot on lush 16mm film, debut filmmakers Milena Czernovsky and Lilith Kraxner render Beatrix’s experience of boredom and solitude as achingly visceral—alternately, awkward, languorous, drained, and euphoric.
