THE EXPERIENCE
It’s A2(4)-Day Fest weekend! In this gentle and keenly observed film, playwright-turned-filmmaker Annie Baker draws from childhood memories to craft a tender, funny, and quietly profound story set in the haze of a New England summer.
ON SCREEN: Janet Planet
2023. Directed by Annie Baker. Runtime: 113 minutes. Rated PG-13.
In rural Western Massachusetts, 11-year-old Lacy spends the summer of 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the attention of her mother, Janet. As the months pass, three visitors enter their orbit, all captivated by Janet and her spellbinding nature. In her solitary moments, Lacy inhabits an inner world so extraordinarily detailed that it begins to seep into the outside world. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker captures a child’s experience of time passing, and the ineffability of a daughter falling out of love with her mother, in this singularly sublime film debut.
A2(4)-Day Fest: In Their Image
4 days of films from women and nonbinary auteur filmmakers
This exciting series spotlights the uncompromising visions of five brilliant women & nonbinary filmmakers. Across four days, we celebrate contemporary auteurs whose wholly original works expand what cinema can be—each shaped by the unmistakable voice of its creator.
A2(4)-Day Fest: In Their Image includes the fantastic films: Lulu Wang’s The Farewell (Free event); Celine Song’s Past Lives; Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow; Annie Baker’s Janet Planet; and Halina Reijn’s Babygirl. This series is an invitation to experience cinema built from a singular vision: intimate, fearless, and wholly original.
