RFT Presents: La Mif
at Reading Biscuit Factory
8pm, Wed 8th June
Reading Film Theatre presents a season of International and art house film.
Fred Baillif’s award-winning third fiction feature is a bristling, contemporary drama set in a teenage girls’ residential care home in Geneva.
Drawing on his own past experience as a street social worker with the ensemble cast composed of non-professional actors, La Mif follows the fallout of an incident which triggers a chain of over-reactions resulting in a powerful and emotional examination of the impacts of abuse and the morals and ethics of social care.
A festival favourite, La Mif had its world premiere at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival where it won the Generation 14Plus Grand Prix for best film, followed by scooping the Golden Eye in the Focus Competition and the Ecumenical Film Award at Zurich Film Festival.
