SILENT FRIEND
On the grounds of a medieval German university town looms an imposing Ginkgo biloba, a tree whose longevity stands in marked contrast to three intimate, human-scaled stories. In 1908, the university’s first female student gains admission into the prestigious botany department, confronting the sexism of both professors and peers. In 1972, amidst counterculture movements, a reserved student finds his attention captured by a fellow housemate and the geranium plant she studies. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a neuroscientist from Hong Kong secures the help of a renowned botanist for an experiment on the old Ginkgo tree.<br>2026 / Germany, France, Hungary, Hong Kong / DCP<div><br></div><div><div>"It’s a true original, one of those cinematic events that, once seen, will not be easily forgotten." - Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com</div><div><br></div><div><div>“It’s an unforgettable film." – Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture</div><div><br></div><div>"It’s a film of sprawling ideas that float around like pollen, with some particles creating marvelous blooms." - Beatrice Loayza, New York Times</div><div><br></div><div>SCREENING: WED 6/10 4PM; THU 6/11 4PM; FRI 6/12 4PM; SUN 6/14 4PM (open caption)</div><div><br></div><div>Tickets are now available online and at the box office beginning 30 minutes before showtime.</div><div><br></div><div>This show has ADA area seating or specifically held seats available.
