NYWIFT Co-Presents with Film Forum Screening/Q&A of ‘April’
NYWIFT is proud to co-present with Film Forum an in-person screening of April followed by a conversation with director Dea Kulumbegashvili.
Under the deep blue, portentous sky of the rugged Georgian countryside, Nina, an OB/GYN with both heroic and dark impulses, faces malpractice charges brought by an aggressive husband whose child died during delivery. Meanwhile, it is an open secret that she provides illegal abortions to village women.
Dea Kulumbegashvili’s sophomore work plumbs the outer limits of feminist empathy and the stark realities of patriarchal control of women’s bodies in a modern-day medical system.
