Gala Screenings
The Chronology of Water
Brought up in an environment torn apart by violence and alcohol, Lidia Yuknavitch seemed destined for self-destruction and failure — until words offered her unexpected freedom in the form of literature. Adapted from Yuknavitch's autobiographical bestseller, The Chronology of Water follows Lidia's journey to find her own voice, exploring how trauma can be transformed into art by repossessing our own bloody histories, particularly those uniquely experienced by the bodies of women and girls. A The Forge release.
Director, producer, and writer Kristen Stewart will be presented with the Rising Star Director Award. A Q&A with Stewart and actor Imogen Poots immediately follows the screening.
