Winner of the Jury Prize of the Un Certain Regard Section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, Calgary Cinematheque is thrilled to present the Calgary premiere of Fire Will Come (2019). The latest film from Oliver Laxe follows a middle-aged man named Amador Coro who returns from prison to his rural Galacian home after having provoked a fire. Life with his elderly mother, Benedicta, initially follows the calm rhythms of nature until one night, when a fire starts to devastate the region. At a brisk 85 minutes, this hypnotic tale of man versus nature is a slow burn that begs to be seen and heard on the big screen.
