Session Times
Overview
Girl had its World Premiere at Sundance this year and went on to open the Glasgow Film Festival, and won Best Feature Narrative at BlackStar Film Festival. In Scotland, eleven-year-old Ama and her mother, Grace, take solace in the gentle but isolated world they obsessively create. But Ama’s thirst for life and her need to grow and develop, challenges the rules of their insular world and gradually forces Grace to reckon with a past she struggles to forget. The cast includes César award-winning Déborah Lukumuena (Divines) in her first English language role. Lukumuena is joined by Danny Sapani (Black Panther, Ear for Eye) and newcomers, Leshantey Bonsu and Liana Turner.
