AFS is excited to play a selection of films that inspired Rose Glass’ feature debut SAINT MAUD. The film will be released theatrically by A24 starting April 3.

SAINT MAUD is a chilling and boldly original vision of faith, madness, and salvation in a fallen world. Maud, a newly devout hospice nurse, becomes obsessed with saving her dying patient’s soul — but sinister forces, and her own sinful past, threaten to put an end to her holy calling. Morfydd Clark and Jennifer Ehle lead the cast of this film that critics are calling “eerie,” “haunting,” and “wickedly delightful.”

About PERSONA:

In the first of a series of legendary performances for Ingmar Bergman, Liv Ullmann plays a stage actor who has inexplicably gone mute; an equally mesmerizing Bibi Andersson is the garrulous young nurse caring for her in a remote island cottage. While isolated together there, the women perform a mysterious spiritual and emotional transference that would prove to be one of cinema’s most influential creations. Acted with astonishing nuance and shot in stark contrast and soft light by the great Sven Nykvist, PERSONA is a penetrating, dreamlike work of profound psychological depth.
