Screenings

Two Gates of Sleep

The essence of William Faulkner’s indomitable novel As I Lay Dying informs the haunting tale of two brothers in the fecund backwoods of the deep South as they prepare for their mother’s death. A hypnotic, experiential journey—heightened by a sensually rich sound design—Griffin’s debut feature impressed audiences during the Directors Fortnight of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.  Director to be in attendance for screenings
