Palme d’Or-winning filmmaker Julia Ducournau’s new film ALPHA is a haunting meditation on girlhood, grief and medical anxiety. In honor of ALPHA’s premiere engagement at IFC Center, Ducournau is inviting us into her world with four hand-picked films that have influenced her wild and wonderful body of work. Join us this March for the Spanish drama that first made Ducournau feel “seen” on the big screen, the 1980’s kids classic that “translates the truth of depression into images,” a supernatural horror landmark that “exudes poetry,” and the Fellini milestone Ducournau calls “an immersion into the bittersweet work of remembering.” You never know what you’re going to get with Julia Ducournau, but this series offers all the frights, joys and surprises you’d expect from a one-of-kind visionary.
Sneak Preview Q&As of ALPHA with director Julia Ducournau take place on Monday, March 16 & Tuesday, March 17 after the 6:30 shows. ALPHA opens Friday, March 27.
