THE SUPER 8 YEARS d. Annie Ernaux, 2022 + Recorded Q&A with the director at various venues, inc: ArtHouse Crouch End (18 JUN 18:00); Barbican (18 JUN 17:40); Chiswick Cinema (18 JUN 16:00); The Garden Cinema (18 JUN 16:30); Picturehouse Cinemas (18 JUN various); Watermans (18 JUN 14:00).

“Nobel Laureate and internationally acclaimed writer Annie Ernaux transforms her home movies into a fascinating exploration of self and family life.”

“THE SUPER 8 YEARS is a record of lives lived between 1972 and 1981. Annie Ernaux, working with her son David, has drawn together footage that was mostly shot by her ex-husband (and David’s father) Philippe. It’s a detailed account of domestic family life, at home and abroad, while also recording the period when Ernaux first became a published author.”

“Like INGRID BERGMAN: IN HER OWN WORDS, which also used home movies to explore a public figure’s private life, THE SUPER 8 YEARS transcends its source material with an artfully crafted voiceover. Ernaux’s steadfastly unsentimental prose style is evident in the forensic details that make her narration so compelling.”
