HIFF: Programmers’ Picks, Incl. ‘The Last of the Sea Women’ | & Ticket Drop at Noon Today

********************************

WEDNESDAY PROGRAMMERS’ PICKS

“In 1975, most of the women in Iceland (even stay-at-home moms!) went on strike for a day, leading to an unparalleled rise in national female equality in the decades to come. This joyful film reflects on why this movement worked… and what we can learn from it almost 50 years later!”

— Kristin McCracken, Programmer

US Premiere | 5:00PM | Regal UA
Director Pamela Hogan and producer Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir in Q&A

“South Korea’s haenyeo free-divers are fierce, funny and hardworking grandmothers are trying to hold on to a disappearing way of life, threatened by climate change and polluted waters. This gorgeous movie will have you rooting for them and the younger generation of divers who hope to keep the tradition alive.”
