International Women's Day Gala: Happening (L'evenement)

As part of Glasgow Film Festival, this powerful, timely and urgent film from director Audrey Diwan has been selected for an International Women’s Day gala screening. Anamaria  Vartolomei plays Anne, a French literary student at Angouleme University in early 1960s who becomes pregnant, jeopardising her future plans. Abortion is illegal in France at the time, but Anne considers pregnancy ‘that illness that turns French women into housewives’, leading to a seismic life dilemma for her.
