“MEMORIA\u00a0 is one of the greatest movies you\u2019ll see\u2014or hear\u2014in a theater this year.\u201d \u2013 Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times<\/p>\n

“An emotionally wrenching and intellectually fulfilling experience.” \u2013 A.O. Scott, New York Times<\/p>\n

Mysterious and transfixing, MEMORIA stars Tilda Swinton as an expat scientist living in Colombia who is suddenly beset by sounds only she can hear. In her quest to find the source of these sonic disturbances, she travels through lush countrysides, busy Bogot\u00e1 streets, and austere brutalist architecture, chasing ghosts, missing persons, and the reverberating echoes of the past. The film, which is only available\u00a0 to experience in theaters, will be followed by an extended conversation with\u00a0Weerasethakul, who will discuss the ideas and experiences that drive his practice.<\/p>\n

Presented in partnership with Northwestern University\u2019s Department of Radio\/TV\/Film and The Block Museum.<\/em><\/p>\n

Colombia, 136 minutes plus discussion
\nFormat: 35mm
