Join Reclaim The Frame for a special screening, coming up at FACT on the 11th of September.
Shot in breathtaking black and white, Mother Vera is a visually arresting and deeply meditative portrait of a woman confronting the shadows of her past. Vera has spent 20 years in a convent on the outskirts of Minsk, living among men undergoing addiction rehabilitation.
When a conversation with her mother stirs long-buried memories, Vera is compelled to revisit her own past and the tragic events that led her to this secluded life. What unfolds is a quiet, powerful story of resilience, healing, and spiritual transformation.
With its haunting cinematography and contemplative pace, Mother Vera invites audiences into a world rarely seen on screen — one of silence, struggle, and redemption. Directed by Cécile Embleton and Alys Tomlinson, and produced by Laura Shacham for She Makes Productions, Mother Vera is an unforgettable cinematic experience.
The screening at FACT has descriptive subtitles and will be followed by a Q&A with Cécile Embleton.
