In November, the European Union Film Festival (EUFF) will be presenting contemporary cinema from all 27 EU Member States in Canada and Jamaica. The Austrian entry, ‘Sleeping with a Tiger’ by Anja Salomonowitz, is a poetic portrait of the Austrian painter Maria Lassnig, played by Birgit Minichmayr. The film tells the story of Lassnig’s search for her own personal artistic expression, her struggle in a male-dominated art world and her physical struggle to create a style of painting in which she brings her inner pain to the canvas. Screenings will take place on 16 November in Toronto and Vancouver, on 21 November in Montego Bay and on 28 November at the Ottawa Art Gallery. The film will also be available online from 1 to 20 December.
