Mother Vera by Alys Tomlinson at Antenna Festival

In a hidden Orthodox monastery in Belarus, Mother Vera weaves the inner world of an unorthodox young nun with the community that saved her life. ⁠

After 20 years as a monastic, Vera faces deep inner conflict and must now confront her past, trusting her instincts to find the liberation she desires. . A poignant and universal story, Mother Vera explores faith, recovery, and the desire for liberation within and beyond cloistered walls.⁠

Antenna is an annual documentary film festival, established in 2011 with the mission to promote, celebrate and champion creative documentary cinema as one of the most exciting means by which we can connect to the contemporary world.⁠

 

Mother Vera screenings will take place on 9th and 16th February.
