Somewhere between space and the hospital, Mia Engberg creates a deeply personal story about life’s beauty and pain.

In beloved and acclaimed films such as the Guldbagge-winning Belleville Baby (GFF 2013) and Lucky One (GFF 2019), Mia Engberg has explored a distinctive cinematic aesthetic. In Hypermoon, her artistry takes on a new resonance when she receives a notice of illness. For a year, Engberg goes through the disease with camera in hand. Also circulating in the film’s universe are the Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova and the wild gangster lover Vincent from the early years in Paris, who talks on the phone about how he too is aging and changing. Hypermoon is an achingly beautiful and intensely moving film about the vulnerability of bodies and stories.

* The screening on January 29 will be followed by a Directors Talk, a longer conversation with Mia Engberg. Before the talk, the two previous films from the Belleville trilogy will be screened: Belleville Baby and Lucky One.
