Upcoming Film: Light Falling Down
Light Falling Down, adapted from Aimee Greenberg’s theatrical production, was filmed and is currently in post-production, with editing led by Richard Levien. Set in Poland in 1942, the film follows Ruth, a 16-year-old Jewish girl who finds refuge on a farm owned by Alice, a young Polish woman. Their initially tense encounter evolves into a complex bond amid crisis, exploring themes of remembrance, sacrifice, and rebirth. Symbols like dirt, sunflowers, and Zmierzch (Polish for twilight) enrich the narrative.
The film’s tone resonates with the rhythms of nature, where light acts as a silent narrator, transitioning from the promise of dawn to the oppressive weight of noon, culminating in the fear that accompanies night. Light Falling Down aims to illuminate the stories of those who have endured, survived, and thrived against all odds, celebrating the resilience and universal strength of women throughout history.
