Screening and Debate: The Second Mother by Anna Muylaert


The Second Mother (Que horas ela volta?, 2015) 
April 7th, 2016 @ 7pm

Directed by Anna Muylaert (Best Film at Berlin Film Festival and Brazilian entry to Oscar)
With Regina Casé (Best Actress at Sundance Festival)
When the estranged daughter of a hard-working live-in housekeeper suddenly appears, the unspoken class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray. It's a story about two women, of two different generations shown by an outstanding performance of two actresses. The director easily overcomes the distance between audience and screen simply throughout their enormous empathy for the struggle between work and worries about their family.

Introduction and post-screening debate with Simone Bohn, Associate Professor of Sociology, York University.

In Portuguese with English Subtitles

Doors open at 6:30 pm and the session begins at 7 pm
Admission is FREE on a first come first serve basis
