Speed Cinema Screenings: Sound of Falling 3/27/26 6PM

“Mascha Schilinski’s superb feature is a masterclass in ethereal, unnerving brilliance.”—Damon Wise, Deadline 

In Mascha Schilinski’s transcendent Sound of Falling, fragments from a hundred years in one farmhouse coalesce into a cinematic flood of memory. 

Germany’s shortlisted Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards® tracks the lives of four adolescent girls (Alma, Erika, Angelika, Lenka) across the last century – their desires and distress, their secrets and truths, their encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return. Though separated by time, far-reaching resonances emerge as echoes of experience linger. 

Sensual and sensory, this awe-inducing Cannes prizewinner invites audiences to witness an eternal summer, a constant now, and ask: what is looking back at us from the past – or perhaps even from the future? 2025, Germany, DCP, in German with English subtitles, 155 minutes. Recommended for 17+.
