Summary
Summer’s here, but this film festival isn’t about sun and smiles—it’s Bleak Week, a global seven-day dive into cinema’s darkest corners, hitting over 70 cities. Curated by Olivia Norquay, it’s not about escapism, but raw, life-affirming truth. Expect Béla Tarr’s haunting “The Turin Horse,” Studio Ghibli’s devastating “Grave of the Fireflies,” and films exploring war’s aftermath, hidden lives, and suburban despair. Think intense, uncomfortable, and deeply human. Viewer discretion advised. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
