LIGHT FROM LIGHT
NOVEMBER 22-28
dir. Paul Harill, Drama, Not Rated, USA, English, 2019 82 min.

Gifted with sometimes-prophetic dreams and a lifelong interest in the paranormal, Sheila (Marin Ireland) is asked to investigate a potential haunting at a Tennessee farmhouse. It’s there she meets Richard (Jim Gaffigan), a recent widower who believes his wife may still be with him. The investigation that ensues — which eventually pulls in Shelia’s son, Owen and his classmate Lucy — forces them to confront the mysteries of their own lives.

BY THE GRACE OF GOD
NOVEMBER 22-28
Silver Bear (Grand Jury Prize) Berlin International Film Festival 2019

dir. Francois Ozun, Drama / Crime, Not Rated, France, French, 2019, 137 min.

Three adult men—Alexandre (Melvil Poupaud), François (Denis Ménochet), and Emmanuel (Swann Arlaud)—band together to expose the code of silence that continues to enable a priest who abused them as boys. Their experiences powerfully illustrate the varying effects that the trauma of abuse causes on individuals and their families for years. The true story upon which the film is based is an ongoing scandal in France, with Philippe Barbarin, Cardinal of Lyon, convicted in March 2019 for concealing the conduct of Father Preynat.
