About this event
A compelling and ultimately compassionate story--On October 21, see the striking period drama Tell Everyone! Director Alli Haapasalo and lead actress Marketta Tikkanen will be present for a Q&A following the screening. On a remote island where troublesome women are sent to be forgotten, an emotionally charged struggle for liberation unfolds in a dazzlingly beautiful and deeply moving historical drama. Following her acclaimed Girl Picture (2022), director Alli Haapasalo takes the female body's built-in violence and imbues that bottled up fury into 19th-century Finland on a little island called Seili. The year is 1898, and Amanda (Marketta Tikkanen) arrives at the institution on the island of Seili in the Finnish archipelago. She has been committed after living a wandering, decadent life, marked by episodes of madness once a month caused by severe menstrual pain. Amanda considers her stay on the island strictly temporary, but as she begins to form bonds with the other women, doubt takes root. Marketta Tikkanen shines in the lead role, supported by Alma Pöysti, Krista Kosonen and Aamu Milonoff, who together create a richly layered gallery of female fates in a genuinely affecting drama.
