Director and four-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke comes to the Trustees Theater for a special screening of his new film exploring the life and art of Savannah's own Flannery O'Connor starring Maya Hawke.
WILDCAT invites the audience to weave in and out of celebrated Southern Gothic writer Flannery OConnor's mind as she ponders the great questions of her writing: Can scandalous art still serve God? Does suffering precede all greatness? Can illness be a blessing? In 1950, Flannery (Maya Hawke) visits her mother Regina (Laura Linney) in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Struggling with the same disease that took her fathers life and desperate to make her mark as a great writer, this crisis pitches her imagination into a feverish exploration of belief. As she dives deeper into her craft, the lines between reality, imagination, and faith begin to blur.
A Q&A with director and co-writer Ethan Hawke immediately follows the screening.
