SOUND OF FALLING • IN CINEMAS JUNE 4 • Thanks to Transmission Films, we have 5 double passes to give away to SOUND OF FALLING, a film directed by Mascha Schilinski, opening nationally in cinemas on June 4.
At different points throughout the last century, Alma, Erika, Angelika and Lenka each spend a part of their childhood on the same farm in northern Germany. The farmhouse bears witness to events both global and personal, with two world wars and a divided Germany providing historical backdrops to the girls’ more intimate experiences of growing up – innocent friendships, playful pranks, deep trauma and the burgeoning comprehension of life’s limitations for women under patriarchy.
Opening in cinemas nationally from June 4, 2026.
