Lady in Ermine portrays the moment Sofi realizes her calling for portraiture and envisions the masterpiece she will render, one day, capturing the soul of Philip II of Spain, the foreign ruler who invaded her country.

Director: Donna DiGiuseppe (Italy 2022) 8 min.


Lasse Hallström’s Hilma brings to the big screen the life story of a woman who defied conventions and who revolutionized the art world when her work was exhibited in its entirety in 2019 at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC.

Hilma died in 1944, unknown and unrecognized as the woman who invented abstract painting, displacing Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian as the initiators of abstract painting and Modernism.

From her adoration of the anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner and her invincible belief in spirits, to her unconventional romantic life and close circle of fellow female artists who converged around Hilma and her atelier, the film provides a nuanced portrait of a woman who chose to remain true to her vision as an artist, despite working in a hostile, misogynistic world where women were not expected to express themselves and still were not allowed to vote.

The all-star cast includes Tora Hallström and Oscar nominee Lena Olin, who play Hilma at different ages, Tom Wlaschiha, Catherine Chalk and Lily Cole.

Director: Lasse Hallström. Sweden, 2022, 115 min.
