Sarah Polley films her family in The Stories We Tell
Cinema lovers rejoice! This week marks the start of the latest in the Springfield Art Association’s excellent, long-running film series.
This year’s first entry is The Stories We Tell, the acclaimed documentary by actress / director Sarah Polley (Guinevere, Take This Waltz). The film is said to be both extremely personal and narratively multi-layered as Polley sets out to tell the story of her family of storytellers. So what we seem to have is a story about a group of people who compulsively tell stories, many of which are inevitably about other storytellers. And their stories.
Check out the trailer here and come out to AMC Parkway 8, 3025 Lindbergh Blvd. Showtime is 7 PM, tickets for adults are $8, tickets for students with ID are $4.
