Part of Litquake’s Words Around the World
Co-presented with Villa Albertine and Mill Valley Film Festival
Film audio in French with English subtitles

Novelist, screenwriter and director Christine Angot joins Zoe Elton, artistic director for the Mill Valley Film Festival, to present a special screening of A Family (dir. Angot, 2024). This radical and powerful documentary examines the rarely discussed topic of incest as it follows Angot, who, unplanned, begins confronting family members and friends about the abuse she endured as a teenager at the hands of her father. This filmic journey explores the unspoken reasons why such acts went unchallenged, examines the role of her father,  and questions the societal and personal implications of openly confronting the truth both then and now.
