Cinematheque at Home: Light from Light

Plays May 29 - June 12
Directed by Paul Harrill
2019, USA, 82 min

Gifted with sometimes-prophetic dreams and a lifelong interest in the paranormal, Sheila (Marin Ireland) is asked to investigate a potential haunting at a Tennessee farmhouse. It’s there she meets Richard (Jim Gaffigan), a recent widower who believes his wife may still be with him. The investigation that ensues – which eventually pulls in Shelia’s son, Owen and his classmate Lucy – forces them to confront the mysteries of their own lives. Conjuring up the same tone as David Lowery’s A Ghost Story (who produced this film) Light from Light is a beautiful story of love and forgiveness.


Cinematheque at Home – curated by the Cinematheque – will offer new theatrical releases every week which our audiences can pay to stream through our website (by clicking the ‘buy tickets’ button). This is not only an opportunity for our patrons to see new cinema, but is an important way that they can continue to support independent film during this pandemic.

Reviews

A movie of great intimacy and mystery.
- Film Comment
An unconventional ghost story... made all the more transfixing by its delicacy and understatement.
- David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
A gem… rare, quiet honesty, and a lead performance from Marin Ireland that’ll haunt you for days.
- Elizabeth Weitzman, The Wrap
