New decade, old habits! Film & Food continues to explore the great filmographies out there. We start the new year with Sarah Polley’s sensitive work "Stories We Tell". And we would like to invite you to join us in this nostalgic trip to universes so familiar to all of us.

Film & Food #11 / At 7pm: KüfA / At 8:30pm: Film screening of “Stories We Tell" (2011), by Sarah Polley (108min) - English with German Subtitles

"STORIES WE TELL unpeels the complex life of Diane, an aspiring actress and mother, and the shockwaves that a series of impulsive actions unleash on her children, husband and community.

With this groundbreaking new feature that seamlessly blends past and present, the real and the imagined, Polley’s characteristically unflinching yet compassionate gaze delivers a level of depth and emotion only hinted at by her acclaimed earlier directorial works, Away From Her and Take This Waltz.

Making STORIES WE TELL all the more memorable is the revelation that the mother depicted – and family in question – is Polley’s own."

"One of the most heralded films of the 2012 Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, Academy Award-nominee Sarah Polley’s extraordinary STORIES WE TELL is a deeply moving portrait of a family dealing with a legacy of secrets and lies, and the elusive nature of truth itself."
