Mascha Schilinski’s century-spanning German epic is a visual poem about time, memory, and gendered violence that unfolds across four generations of women connected to the same rural farmhouse. The film collapses these timelines by slipping in and out of different eras in German history to reveal the cyclical nature of their transgenerational trauma. Its atmospheric cinematography bleeds these timelines together with a ghostlike presence. Today, we have the opportunity to share a conversation with film's director, Mascha Schilinski, and cinematographer, Fabian Gamper, who share their creative process and vision for the film. Sound of Falling won the Jury Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and is Germany's submission to the International Feature category at the Academy Awards. MUBI will release Sound of Falling in U.S. theaters on January 16.
