20TH CENTURY WOMEN

SPECIAL GUESTS: MIKE MILLS, ANNETTE BENING, ELLE FANNING AND LUCAS JADE ZUMANN

In the not-quite halcyon days of late-’70s Santa Barbara, on the cusp of a new era in sexual politics, single mother Dorothea Fields (Annette Bening) enlists two younger women (Greta Gerwig, Elle Fanning) to help her raise her teenage son (Lucas Jade Zumann) in hopes that he will grow into a man who truly understands women.

OUR CENTERPIECE ENSEMBLE SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM will feature an onstage conversation with the director and cast members of 20th Century Women, a screening of the film, and the presentation of the MVFF Award. For the first time, the MVFF Award will be given in recognition of the incredible cast and their work as an ensemble under Mike Mills’ inspired direction.
